Now I got a gal: Works in the yard She brings me meat: She brings me lard Only thing: That keep me barred People she works for: Don't allow me in the yard Going to tell you one thing: It's a natural fact Want you to come on home: And drop that sack Now I got a gal: She lives on the hill Took our corn: To the sugar mill Still I know: I wouldn't take no salt I'll grind your corn: Into sweet jellyroll I asked for one: She brought me two Down to the crap game: Me and you Got two dollars: My point was nine Police come a‑running: And the *chips* went flying Said I went to the gypsy: To get me a hand See my gal walking: With another man I said you may go: You'll come back If you ever come back: You got to drop that sack
