How I love my poor princess in rags
Though she hasn't got a dime
From the pain it takes just to set things right
Till the day is done just to make ends meet
I know some day I'll find a way
With each moment spent in her arms each night
Now her dad, he's a worn-out man
Just me and my princess in rags
And her clothes are all hand me downs
And some day it's gotta be
Though it hurts and my body aches
All her wealth is in her charms
And the sweetness of her arms
I'm so proud that she's all mine
From the folks in town who treat her so good
'cause to me she's a princess in rags
She's the only girl for me
And her mom cleans for everyone
I'll work and slave, scrimp and save
Prayin' if he can make enough to eat
And some day it's gotta be
To take her out of this old place
To change her rags to silk and lace
She's the only girl for me
But for now I must be content
