WHEN YOU WERE A GAL OF SEVEN
(Hudson Whittaker (Tampa Red))

When you and I were kiddies, we had a happy time,
When you was a girl of seven, and I was a boy of nine.
Somehow I can't forget it. It's often on my mind.
When you was a girl of seven, and I was a boy of nine,
We played mama and papa and another game or two.
We disobeyed our mothers and we broke the teacher's rule.
We did things together to please each other's mind,
When you was a girl of seven, and I was a boy of nine.

(Repeat last 4 lines.)
