Ain’t Got No Gal In This Town

(Greer-Robinson)
From Cab Calloway and His Orchestra 1931-1932; The Chronogical Classics 526

Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town

Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town

Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail

Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town

I've got a million gals in Memphis
I've got a gal way out in Saint Paul
I took my hat and left them flat
'Cause they couldn't kick the gong

[Repeats first four verses]
