Gene Pitney Princess In Rags Lyrics

Princess In Rags Lyrics

There`s a girl who lives down the track 
In a little shack made of timber wood 
And her clothes are all hand-me-downs 
From the folks in town who treat her so good 
Though she hasn`t got a dime 
I`m so proud that she`s all mine 
`cause to me she`s a princess in rags 
Now her dad, he`s a worn-out man 
Prayin` if he can make enough to eat 
And her mom cleans for everyone 
Till the day is done just to make ends meet 
All her wealth is in her charms 
And the sweetness of her arms 
How I love my poor princess in rags 
I know some day I`ll find a way 
To take her out of this old place 
I`ll work and slave, scrimp and save 
To change her rags to silk and lace 
Though it hurts and my body aches 
From the pain it takes just to set things right 
But for now I must be content 
With each moment spent in her arms each night 
She`s the only girl for me 
And some day it`s gotta be 
Just me and my princess in rags 
She`s the only girl for me 
And some day it`s gotta be 
Just me and my princess in rags
