Could You Love A Poor Boy, Dolly - Lyrics - Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Both to Each Other " and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children.

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?
