One of the finest rock steady ballads from the 1967 performed by the late, great Highland 'Dobby' Dobson.

Later covered by a variety of performers, including Gregory Isaacs and Ruddy Thomas, this classic track was among the few numbers recorded by the singer-songwriter at Duke Reid's famed Treasure Isle studio, remaining one of Dobby's most popular recordings throughout the remainder of his career.

I’M A LOVING PAUPER LYRICS
(Johnson, Browne, Dobson)

I’m not in a position to maintain you
The way that you're accustomed to
Can't take you out to fancy places
Like other fellows that I know can do
I'm only able to romance you
And make you tingle with delight
Financially, I'm a pauper
But when it comes to loving, I'm alright
Alright, alright

Don't show me what you're friends are wearing
I really don't want to see
Don't tell me what your friends are buying
Money doesn't grow on trees
Tell me about the things that excite you
That makes you tingle with delight
Tell me where to hold and touch you
So when it comes to loving, I'm alright
Alright, alright

Jewellery are things I can’t buy you, girl
Or drive you in a GT car
If you're hungry, girl, I can't feed you
On my money, girl, we won't get far
I got so many patches on my clothes, girl
A hole in the bottom of shoe
But if you prefer love to lux’ry
Then you got to tell me I’m alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
