See my gal meek as a lamb Went to see my gal meek as a lamb Went to see my gal meek as a lamb When I left her I heard the back door slam But I'll get mine by and by
I'll get mine by and by I'll get mine by and by I'll get mine by and by Where the chickens don't roost so high I'll get mine by and by
Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt Can't get in a bunch coming out I'll get mine by and by
I saw a man coming across the field I saw a man coming across the field I saw a man coming across the field Kicking up dust like an automobile I'll get mine by and by
Go to the river and turn to the right Go to the river and turn to the right Go to the river and turn to the right And listen to the devil and the wildcat fight I'll get mine by and by
