I haven't much to offer But my future looks bright I do what I do well I'll always get by And I don't even have the right to ask you But I've been loving you so long Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? If you come live with me Dolly, I'd be so proud Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? If I gave you this ring Would you wear it on your finger at night? I haven't got a mansion But I got a piece of land And I'll build a home for you With these hard-working hands And I'd love you like there was no tomorrow Every day of my life Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? (Poor boy) If you come live with me Dolly, I'd be so proud Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? (Poor boy) If I gave you this ring Would you wear it on your finger at night? Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? (Poor boy) If you come live with me Dolly, I'd be so proud Could you love a poor boy? Could you, Dolly? Could you love a poor boy? (Poor boy) If I gave you this ring Would you wear it on your finger at night?
