AIN'T YA COMIN' OUT TO-NIGHT
(Carson Robinson & Guy Massey)
As recorded by Vernon Dalhart, Columbia 257-D, 1924.

1. I got a little gal, she’s got a wooden leg,
Got a wooden leg, got a wooden leg.
I guess that’s the reason that they call her Peg.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight?
I got a little gal that lives on the hill,
Lives on the hill, lives on the hill.
She’s a moonshiner’s gal but I love her still.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight?

CHORUS: Oh, ain’tcha, ain’tcha, ain’tcha, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight,
Comin’ out tonight, comin’ out tonight?
Ain’tcha, ain’tcha, ain’tcha, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight
To dance by the light of the moon?

2. My little gal and me, we stood on the stoop,
Stood on the stoop, stood on the stoop.
Her dad came out and made me loop the loop.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight?
I got a little gal with freckles on her face,
Freckles on her face, freckles on her face.
I asked her where she got ‘em; said she got ‘em ever’place.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight? CHORUS

3. I got a little gal that thinks I’m a king,
Thinks I’m a king, thinks I’m a king.
Said she’d like to crown me and ev’rything.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight?
I got a little gal that’s long and thin,
Wart on her chin and her eyes turned in.
She’s a durned good girl for the shape she’s in.
Tell me, ain’tcha comin’ out tonight? CHORUS
