1. Within a crowded tenement where poorest folks abound,
There lives a pretty working girl, the best that can be found.
She helps to keep her mother and her little brother Joe,
She's as sweet as can be, and the boys all say,
"She is the belle of Poverty Row."
Chorus:
Down in Poverty Row you will find this girl.
Riches cannot compare with this precious pearl,
Each boy loves her and wishes to be her beau,
So she's not to blame if she treats all the same,
Down in Poverty Row.
