Subject: Lyr Req: Triflin' Gal by Al Dexter
Hello, I'm looking for a place to compare with my own transcription below. This song was a country hit around 1945. Here's what I "heard", and some places didn't make sense at all... need help to clean up, and thanks ahead for your correction.

Song:Triflin' Gal   Writer:Cindy Walker   Artist:Al Dexter & His Troopers

Trifling gal, I knew you'll never be true
Trifling gal, why don't I tell you we're through
Now I already pack, and never come back
And I'd be acting smart
But I never will, because you're too
I walking baby my heart

Trifling gal, you're running my nights and my days
And I know you'll never change your way
Why do I keep loving you
When you stay on the prowl
Oh the way that you trifle so
Give me a rifle and shoot you, trifling gal
