I've Got Sixpence - 1941 - Billy Cotton and his Band

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Sept 2001

When I had my civvies on I had a lot of care
I had a lot of worry and troubles ev'rywhere
but now I've got no worry
and troubles flown away
I'm living like a millionaire
and not a cent to pay.

I've got sixpence jolly jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life
I've got tuppence to spend
and tuppence to lend
and tuppence to send unto my wife.
No cares have I to grieve me
no pretty little girl to deceive me
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.
Rolling home, rolling home
as I go rolling home
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.

I've got sixpence jolly jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life
I've got tuppence to spend
and tuppence to lend
and tuppence to send unto my wife.
No cares have I to grieve me
no pretty little girl to deceive me
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.
Rolling home, rolling home
as I go rolling home
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.

Once I had a lot of dough
and bought a motor car
I used to go out driving
and smoke a big cigar,
but since I paid my Income Tax
I can't afford to smoke,
I sold my lovely motor car
but don't think I am broke.

I've got sixpence jolly jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life
I've got tuppence to spend
and tuppence to lend
and tuppence to send unto my wife.
No cares have I to grieve me
no pretty little girl to deceive me
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.
Rolling home, rolling home
as I go rolling home
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.

I've got sixpence jolly jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life
I've got tuppence to spend
and tuppence to lend
and tuppence to send unto my wife.
No cares have I to grieve me
no pretty little girl to deceive me
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.
Rolling home, rolling home
as I go rolling home
I'm as happy as a King believe me,
as I go rolling home.
