If Teardrops Were Pennies Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you a solid gold mansion an airplane or two 

This world would be yours dear to have and to hold 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold 

I'd have all the treasures my pockets to hold 

I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold 

[ steel - guitar ] 

The tears that you've caused me won't buy you one thing 

The heartaches you've brought me won't pay for a ring 

The love that I wanted my God have grown cold 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
