Low Rent Part of Town

My family ain’t got money, I still wear hand-me-downs

We live in a shack by the freight train track in the low rent part of town

My girl that I wanna marry, she’s from a wealthy background

She can’t date or associate with a boy, from the low rent part of town

Some day we’ll be together, she’ll wear that wedding gown

Until then I’ll spend my days, in the low rent part of town

I got me a job with the circus, working the merry-go-round

It’s the best I can do cause they closed all the schools in the low rent part of town

I saved up all my money, so I could take her for a big night out

But her dad said go back to my own kind, in the low rent part of town

Some day we’ll be together, she’ll wear that wedding gown

Until then I’ll spend my days, in the low rent part of town

In this world, there’s two kinds of people

Those with money and those without

And I’ll scrimp and scrape so I can escape

From the low rent part of town

I hope we’ll be together

I hope she’ll wear that gown

I’ll spend my days and my lonely

nights in the low rent part of town

Some day we’ll be together

She’ll wear that wedding gown

Until then I’ll spend my days

in the low rent part of town
