Camille & Haley - Rich Man's Wife

I just milked the cows today, fed all the chickens, gathered all their eggs
Another day’s work at the farm, sleepin’, eatin’, practically living in the barn
It’s a dandy life indeed, if you like that kind of thing
But I got a different dream, a far off fantasy

To be a rich man’s wife, I’d never have to work another day in my life
Never thinking twice, if I see it and I want it, then it’s mine, mine, mine
The limit is the sky, and Im’a ride them winds with style
Yeah, I would leave it all behind to be a rich man’s wife

Alarm, alarm. alright! I know, my life starts over with a rooster’s crow
Gotta plow a field, shuck the corn, got my overalls screaming, “I’m far past worn!”
Two dimes and a nickel ‘til three, and I still haven’t eaten anything
See, I could work my way out of poverty or simply take the pretty route of matrimony
Would it be worth it? Definitely!

To be a rich man’s wife, I’d never have to work another day in my life
Never thinking twice, no sir! If I see it and I want it, then it’s mine, mine, mine
The limit is the sky, and Im’a ride them winds with style
Yeah, I would leave it all behind to be a rich man’s wife

Oh sweet, sweet charity, I could donate half his money to thee
And I’d set all them farm girls free, all them poor old saps like me

I’ll make ‘em rich men’s wives, I’ll tell my hubby’s buddies that they’re all real nice
Girl, don’t think twice! If you see him and you want him, say, “He’s mine, mine, mine”
The limit is the sky, so go ride them winds with style; kiss the farm girl’s life goodbye
Go be a rich man’s wife!

I wanna be a rich man’s wife!
I’m gonna be a rich man’s wife!
Oh, to be a rich man’s wife!
Camille: Are you sayin’ you wanna marry for love or money?
Haley: Well, can’t I have both?
Camille: I suppose so, if I can too!
