You have iron enough to make a nail
    Am                       F
And lime enough to paint a wall
              C               G          F
But that just isn't enough to make you a man

[Verse]

You have water enough to drown a dog
    Am                            F
And sulphur enough to stop the fleas
              C               G          C
But that just isn't enough to make you a man

[Chorus]

    Am             F      G
And time enough to hold a child

And love enough to break a heart
               C                  F       G
You don't have strength enough to build a home
   Am             F      G
Or time enough to hold a child
   C     Am       F  G    C
Or love enough to break a heart

[Verse]

You have potash enough to wash a shirt
    Am                     F
And gold enough to buy a bean
              C               G          F
But that just isn't enough to make you a man

[Verse]
         C
You have silver enough to coat a pin
    Am                       F

You have phosphor enough to light the town
    Am                          F
And poison enough to kill the cow
              C               G          F
But that just isn't enough to make you a man
