Princess In Rags
(Helen Miller/Roger Atkins)

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

Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart

Something’s gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something’s gotten into my life
Cutting it’s way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning my down
Making me smile and making me frown

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace with no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days
Yeah, I gotta tell you now

Something’s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painted my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

I’ve got to know if this is the real thing
I’ve got to know what’s making my heart sing, woho-o yeah
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah
You touched me and my mind goes astray
And baby, yeah, and baby, yeah

Something got a hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painted my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey ....
