"A Satisfied Mind" lyrics - MAHALIA JACKSON

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I could do things my way"
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When my life has ended, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I could do things my way"
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
