Lyrics
- I met a lovesick fellow
With a sad look in his eye
I said, “What is the trouble?”
And he started in to cry
Chorus
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
A trav’lin’ an came through the town
And now she’s trav’lin’, too
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
- Oh! butter and eggs is what he sold
That big man from the West
He told her of his big cheese farm
And she fell on his chest
Chorus
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
She always was so fond of cheese
I thought I smelt a rat
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
- Oh! crossword puzzles she would do
Yes, she’d do nothing but
I’ll bet that is the very reason
She went off her nut
Chorus
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
She met a guy from Boston
And he beans her every day
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
- When I called at her house, her Dad
Would throw me down the stair
Till later on I found out
That he didn’t want me there
Chorus
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
And when he’d throw his shoe at me
He leave his foot inside
Oh! my gal don’t love me anymore
