The Flatlanders, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock and Joe Ely - Treasure of Love

I got a pocket full of pennies
But a heart full of gold
Though my troubles are many
I have treasures untold
And the shack that I live in
Is a palace to me
For the treasure of love
The treasure of love you gave to me

In this world, there are riches
That money can't buy
Like the treasure of true love
A love that won't die
So why should I worry
What tomorrow will bring
For the treasure of love
The treasure of love, makes me a king

Though my clothes are all tattered
I've seen better days
Know it really don't matter
For I'm rich in other way
If my pockets are empty
But still wealthy, I'll be
With the treasure of love
The treasure of love you gave to me
