C                        C7 
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 
         F4                   C            F  C  F               
From the folks in town who treat her so good 
 

           C            C7 
Though she hasn't got a dime 
       F                    D 
I'm so proud that she's all mine 
        F          G           C 
'Cos to me she's a princess in rags 
 
Now her dad he's a worn out man 

Praying if he can make enough to eat 

And her mum cleans for everyone 

'Till the day is done just to makes ends meet 
 
All her wealth is in her charms 

And the sweetness of her arms 

How I love my poor princess in rags 
 

            F                F7 
I know some day I'll find a way 
            C               C7 
To take her out of this old place 
     Am       Dm     Am        Dm  
I'll work and slave, skimp and save 
   G                  G7  
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 gonna be 
Just me and my and princess in rags (2x)
