Gal O’ Mine

When first I kissed my little gal,

And felt her sweet embraces,

I knew I’d found an “only pal”

And would soon get down to cases.

Alas, it proved a ghastly joke,

My friends began to snicker;

I found myself K. O.’d and broke,

Dang that gal. of liquor.

“I will be true while you’re away,”

Thus ran the damsel’s song.

“I will be true; but, oh, I say,

Don’t be away too long.”
