[G] [Em]
[Bb] [C] [D]
There's a girl who lives down the track In a little shack [F] made of timber wood
[G] And her clothes [F] are all hand-me-downs From the folks in town who [C] treat her so good
Though she hasn't got a diet, [F] she's [D] all mine
Cause [Dm] to me she's [G] the princess [D] in a rag
[C] Now her dad, he's a worn-out man Prayin' if he can [F] make enough to eat
And [G] her mom cleans [F] for everyone Till the day is done just [C] to make ends meet
All the wealth is in her charm [Gm] [F] The sweetness of her [D] arms
I'm [F] the [G] princess [D] in a rag
[C] I know [F] someday I'll find a way To take [C] her out of this old place
[Am] I'll work and [D] slay, simp and sane [G] To change [Dm] her rag to silk and lace
[C] Though it hurts and my body aches From the pain it takes just [F] to set things right
But [G] for now I [F] must be content With each moment spent in [C] her arms each night
She's the only girl for me, hey [F] It's gonna [D]
be
[Dm] Just me and [G] my princess [D] in a rag
