"Took My Gal A Walkin'" lyrics - CHARLIE POOLE

I took my gal a-walkin'
It was on one Saturday night
I took my gal a-walkin'
And the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd marry me
And 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, I'm 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 chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I took my gal a-walkin'
It was on one Saturday night
I took my gal a-walkin'
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
