As Simple As I Am Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I know that you could have more than a poor hard workin' man 

I love you and I need you and I ask you for your hand 

And my calloused hands will work for you from sunup to sundown 

If only you'll accept me as simple as I am 

I speak to you with simple words I know no fancy lines 

I am just a simple man who wants you to be mine 

I cannot offer diamonds just a simple golden band 

And I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am 

(fiddle) 

I cannot promise riches love is all I can afford 

But I can promise you no one else can love you more 

And I can promise you I'll never let you down 

If only you'll accept me as simple as I am 

I speak to you... 

I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am
