My Gal - Skip James

My gal, oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so hard

Oh my gal, oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so hard

You know you

Got a head just like

Some 2-by-4 in some lumber yard

You know when I plenny a money

I had plenny money

You know you’d follow me

From town to town

When I had plenny money

I had plenny money

You know you’d follow me

From town to town

Lord since I done

Lose all of my money

That nappy head woman

She can’t be found

You know when I first met you

When I first met you

You know you was down and

You was on the home

When I first met you

When I first met you

You know you was down and

You was on the home

But now since I fell in love with you baby

You treat me just like a dog

You know my gal

You know my gal

You know I bought you some

Clothes and some shoes

You know my gal

You know my gal

You know I bought you some

Clothes and some shoes

Now you misusing me baby

Honey and that’s the way

The way you do

Oh but I’m going to find her

Yes I’m going to find her

With my smokin' smokin' 44

I’m going to find her

I’m going to find her

With my smokin' smokin' 44

Then when I find that hard headed woman

I bet her head will never

Be hard no more

You know my gal

Oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so hard

Oh my gal

Oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so…

You know I would have done come to see you

But your best man, he got me barred

Oh my gal

Oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so hard

Oh my gal

Oh my gal

I wonder what in the world make your

Head so hard

Because you got a head just like

Some 2-by-4 in some lumber yard
