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 lane
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?
