CThere's a girl who lives C7down the track
In a little shack made of Ftimber wood
And her Gclothes are all Fhand me downs
From the Fsus4folks in town who treat Cher so goodF  C  F  
Though she Chasn't got a C7dime
I'm so Fproud that she's all Dmine
'Cos to Fme she's a Gprincess in Crags
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
I know some Fday I'll find a F7way
To take her Cout of this old C7place
I'll Amwork and Dmslave, Amskimp and Dmsave
To Gchange her rags to G7silk 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)
