[Verse 1]
D A D
All my life, I've been a poor man's daughter
D A D
All my life, I've had a poor girl's hand
D A D
'Til the day came that I was promised
D A D
For my beauty to a rich young man
D A D
Days, they passed and nights, they followed

'Til the day came that I should go
D A D
Off in my ragged skirts for the last time
D A D
To my wedding down in Mexico
[Verse 2]
D A D
All my life, I've been a poor man's daughter
D A D
Never have I known a day of rest
D A D
On my journey to my rich young bridegroom
D A D
How my heart, it beat within my breast

I was born a poor man's daughter
D G A
I've been a ragamuffin all my life

Long white dresses, lace and flowers
D A D

D A D
Fast thе horses raced with my carriage
D A D
All thе faster beat my heart
D A D
To my lover and my marriage
D A D
Then my carriage gave a lurch and stopped
D A D
How I paced and how I waited
D G A
How I wanted to continue on
D A D
How I hated for to waste one hour
D A D
In that dirty little border town
[Verse 4]
D A D
Men have said that women are fickle
D A D
Changeable as birds in flight
D A D
Men have said that women are fickle
D A D
And I think perhaps that men are right
D A D
Strong and handsome was the one who helped me
D G A
Right my carriage and get on my way
D A D
Strong and handsome and poor, the stranger
D A D
I have loved ever since that day
[Verse 5]
D A D
I arrived at my bridegroom's door
D A D
I pulled his hair and I kicked his knee
D A D
Dirtied my face and I wore no shoes
D A D
Oh, no fine gentleman shall marry me
D A D
Now my carriage is turned around
D G A
On the Mexican border, I'll live my life
D A D
I was born a poor man's daughter
D A D
I'll be happy as a poor man's wife
