[Verse 1] All my life I’ve been a poor man’s daughter All my life I’ve had a poor girl’s hand ’Til the day came that I was promised 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 [Verse 2] All my life I’ve been a poor man’s daughter Never have I known a day of rest On my journey to my rich young bridegroom How my heart it beat within my breast I was born a poor man’s daughter I’ve been a ragamuffin all my life Long white dresses lace and flowers Oh I’ll be happy as a rich man’s wife [Verse 3] Fast thе horses raced with my carriage 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 How I hated for to waste one hour In that dirty little border town [Verse 4] Men have said that women are fickle Changeable as birds in flight Men have said that women are fickle And I think perhaps that men are right Strong and handsome was the one who helped me Right my carriage and get on my way Strong and handsome and poor the stranger I have loved ever since that day [Verse 5] I arrived at my bridegroom’s door I pulled his hair and I kicked his knee Dirtied my face and I wore no shoes Oh no fine gentleman shall marry me Now my carriage is turned around On the Mexican border I’ll live my life I was born a poor man’s daughter I’ll be happy as a poor man’s wife

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une fille née dans la pauvreté, qui rêve de rejoindre un homme riche à travers le mariage. Alors qu'elle se prépare à quitter son monde modeste pour une vie de confort, son cœur est partagé entre son statut social et ses véritables sentiments. Sur le chemin de la cérémonie, elle rencontre un étranger, également pauvre, qui l'aide et lui fait prendre conscience de l'importance de l'amour au-delà des richesses matérielles. Finalement, elle choisit de vivre une existence simple mais authentique avec cet homme, préférant le bonheur d’un amour sincère à celui d’un mariage avec un homme riche. Cette tension entre la richesse et l’amour véritable ainsi que le choix de l’identité personnelle face aux attentes sociales sont au cœur de son récit.
