MY LITTLE LADY
(McWilliams-Rodgers)
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, 1928. (Victor V-40072-A)

I had a gal. Oh, what a gal!
Her name was Katie Brown.
I'd take her out to ride about,
When the moon was shining down.

We'd sit alone when we got home
Out in the old porch swing,
Then the dear little miss
Would give me a kiss,
While sweetly to her I would sing.

CHORUS: Oh, Katie, my little lady,
I love no one but you.
Oh, Katie, my little lady,
Just say you love me, too.
We'll get married in June,
And have a long honeymoon,
Then settle down for life.
Oh, Katie, my little lady,
Won't you be my wife?

I had a gal. Oh, what a pal!
She left me alone one day.
I didn`t mind, because, I find,
They most always do you that way.

So I went about to try and find out
If another gal I couldn't find.
In less than a day I met Sadie Mae.
Now I hand her the same old line.

CHORUS: Oh, Sadie, ... etc.
