See my gal meek as a lamb
Went to see my gal meek as a lamb
Went to see my gal meek as a lamb
When I left her I heard the back door slam
But I'll get mine by and by
I'll get mine by and by
I'll get mine by and by
I'll get mine by and by
Where the chickens don't roost so high
I'll get mine by and by
Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt
Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt
Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt
Can't get in a bunch coming out
I'll get mine by and by
I saw a man coming across the field
I saw a man coming across the field
I saw a man coming across the field
Kicking up dust like an automobile
I'll get mine by and by
Go to the river and turn to the right
Go to the river and turn to the right
Go to the river and turn to the right
And listen to the devil and the wildcat fight
I'll get mine by and by
