Princess In Rags Gene Pitney

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Now her dad, he's a worn-out man
Prayin' if he can make enough to eat
And her mom cleans for everyone
'Til the day is done just to make ends meet

[Chorus]
All her wealth is in her charms
And the sweetness of her arms
How I love my poor princess in rags

[Bridge]
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
