"Country Girl Who Was a Princess (Diana's Song)"
Written by Jan Hipwell and Len Scott
She sat beside a homeless man in a cardboard tent
And hugged a patient who had AIDS
Then auctioned all those ballrooom gowns she used to wear
Helping the poor was her crusade
Far from the farm where she was born
She tried to mend a world so torn
And on the night she died, the whole world cried
For a country girl who was a princess
And only God knows why she had to die
The country girl who was a princess
She went from grooming horses into a world spotlight
Brighter than the starry nights back home
The press they hounded her like wolves, she was an easy prey
Why couldn't they leave her alone
They chased her right into her grave
You'd think the good ones would be saved
And on the night she died, the whole world cried
For a country girl who was a princess
And only God knows why she had to die
The country girl who was a princess
When a hero's work is done, their light follows the sun
Diana's warmth still shines down, her love is still around
And on the night she died, the whole world cried
For a country girl who was a princess
And only God knows why she had to die
The country girl who was a princess
Oh, that night she died, I sat there and cried
For a country girl who was a princess
