Took My Gal Out Walkin'

(album: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)

I took my gal out walking, it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walking and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd kiss me and this is what she said
She said she wouldn't kiss me so I kissed her instead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I took my gal out walking, it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walking and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd marry me, this is what she said
She said she wouldn't marry me if the rest of the world was dead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn
