All my life, I've been a poor man's daughter

All my life, I've had a poor girl's hand

For my beauty to a rich young man

Days, they passed and nights, they followed

'Til the day came that I should go

Off in my ragged skirts for the last time

To my wedding down in Mexico

How my heart, it beat within my breast

All thе faster beat my heart

To my lover and my marriage

Then my carriage gave a lurch and stopped

How I paced and how I waited

How I wanted to continue on
D A D
How I hated for to waste one hour

In that dirty little border town

Men have said that women are fickle

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
