I Lost My Gal From Memphis Songtext
von Tex Williams

Oh, I lost my gal from Memphis
She′s gone to Caroline
I know just who she went with
A dear old pal of mine

I oughta hop a choo-choo
I know I oughta go
I'd love to find my baby
But my funds are awful low

My gal, why did she leave me?
Sweet gal, I′m missing her so

Oh, there ain't no gal in Memphis
As good as her around
I lost my gal from Memphis
That's why I feel low down


My gal, how could she fool me?
Sweet gal, I′ll never forget

Oh, I lost my gal from Memphis
I think I′ll take my life
No, I'll do something better
I′ll go home to my wife

Has she got those eyes, can she roll 'em too?
That′s what she can do like nobody could
Has she got those lips, are they good to kiss?
Let me tell you this, they were mighty good to me

My gal, why did she leave me?
Sweet gal, I'm missing her so

Oh, there ain′t no gal in Memphis
As good as her around
I've lost my gal from Memphis
That's why I feel low down
Oh, that′s why I feel low down
