[Am] [G] [Dm] [Em]
[Dm] [C] [Dm]
There's [C] a girl [G] who lives [C] down the track in a little shack [F] made of timber wood
And [G] her clothes [F] are all hand-me-downs from the folks in town [C] who treat her so good
No, she hasn't got a
[Gm] [F] life, [D] she's all mine
Cause [Dm] to me she's [G] a princess in a [C] rag
Now her daddy, [C] he's a worn-out man, prayin' if he can [F] make enough to eat
[G] And her mom [F] cleans for everyone till the day is done [C] just to make ends meet
All her wealth is in her charm,
[Gm] [F] the sweetness of [D] her eyes
[Dm] [G] My poor princess [C] in a rag
I know [F] someday I'll find her, take her [C] out of this old place
I'll [D] work and slay, [Am] strimp [D] and say, [F] to change [Dm] her rags [G] to silk and [F] lace
[C] Though it hurts, and my body aches from the pain it takes just to [F] set things right
But [G] for now [F] I must be content with each moment spent [C] in her arms each night
She's the only girl for
[F] me, it's [D] gonna be [Dm] just [G] me and my princess [Gm] in a rag
[C] [D]
[C] She's the only girl for me,
[G] [F] it's [D] gonna be [Gm] just me and my princess [C] in a rag
