I got a Gal I do

Rachie and I decided it would be really cool to collect the lyrics to all the fun family songs we sing. Here's the first one!

I got a gal I do

Her name is Slough foot Sue

She’s chief engineer at the shirttail laundry

Down by the river side blue

Her farm is all she had with a face like a soft shell crab

All day she would tussle with her feather in her bustle

My gosh but she was bad

That’s where my money goes to buy my baby clothes

I buy her everything to keep her in style wella wella wella

She’s worth her weight in gold by coal black baby

Say boys that’s where my money goes

I promised I’d meet her with the clock striked seventeen

At the stockyard just three miles out of town

Where pig’s eyes and hog’s ears and tough old Texas steer

Sell for sirloin steak at 90 cents a pound

She’s my honey my baby

She’s humpbacked she crazy

She’s lantern-jawed, she’s knock-kneed and she’s lame

And I know her teeth are phony from eating strong bologna

She’s my lop-eared consumptive Mary Jane
