I love you, baby
Need you, darling, all right


Now that I found gold
You know I'm gonna stake my claim
It's not the kind of gold

That gives a man fortune and fame

Before I met you, girl

My life was so empty
To others, I'm still poor
But to me, I've got plenty

And, baby, let me tell you, baby

(CHORUS)

I struck it rich when I found you, baby
And I found you in the nick of time
I struck it rich when I found you, honey

And I'll be rich just as long as you're mine

Cause I love you, baby

I need you, darling, all right

Girls like you are rare, it's true

You can't find them no more
But I was like a miner searching
Hard to find it and got my reward


Many years ago, a wise man said
Good things come to those

Who go out and get it
And, baby, I went out and got you


I struck it rich when I found you, baby
Oh, I found you in the nick of time
I struck it rich when I found your loving

And I'll be rich just as long as you're mine

Cause I love you, baby

I need you, honey, all right
Sing it with me now


I struck it rich when I found you, baby
Oh, I'm wealthy cause I'm healthy
And you're so young


I struck it rich when I found you, baby
Cause my name is on the tip of your tongue

I struck it rich when I found you, baby
You're my girl, don't you know
We got it made in the shade now
