There's a girl who lives down the track,
                          F
in a little shack made of timber wood.
        G               F
And her clothes are all hand-me-downs,
                                 C
from the folks in town who treat her so good.
 
CHORUS:
                        C7
Though she hasn't got a dime,
       F                    D
I'm so proud that she's all mine..
         G          G7          C
cause to me she's a Princess in rags.

        C           C7
Now her Dad, he's a worn-out man,
                       F
prayin' if he can make enough to eat. 
        G              F
And her Mom cleans for everyone,
                              C
till the day is done, just to make ends meet.
 
CHORUS:#2.
                         C7
All her wealth is in her charms,
        F                D
and the sweetness of her arms..
      G            G7          C
how I love my poor Princess in rags.

            F               G
I know some day I'll find a way
            C
to take her out of this old place.
     D        D7     D          D7
I'll work and slave, scrimp and save,
   G                  G7
To change her rags to silk and lace.

          C            C7
Though it hurts and my body aches..
                               F
From the pain it takes just to set things right.
        G          F
But for now I must be content,
                              C
with each moment spent in her arms each night.

She's the only girl for me,
         F              D
and some day it's gotta be..
     G         G7          C
Just me and my Princess in rags...(x2)
