American Old Time Song Lyrics: 08 The Yaller Gal That Winked At Me
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 8
The Yaller Gal that Winked at Me.
Your attention I ask for a while
To a song I'm going to sing youIt's about a pretty yaller gal I met while I was walking,
And she threw such a glance at me-
She was pretty and sweet as a flower-
Such clothes you never did see;
She'd a darling little bonnet, with a flower-garden on it,
Had the yaller gal that winked at me.
Chorus.
Oh, my! she looked so sweet and she dressed so neat,
With her tilting hoops and pretty little feet,
As she went skipping along;
Pretty little yaller gal I met while I was walking,
And she threw such a glance at me;
As she skipped across the gutter,
My heart went in a flutter
For the yaller gal that winked at me.
I immediately asked her her name,
And she said it was Lucinda,
She said I was a stunner, and for life that I had won her.
And married we should be.
So I'd dress up, and I'd walk by her house.
Every afternoon, about three,
And I'd glance up at the window for to see my dear Lucinda,
She's the yaller gal that winked at me.-Chorus.
Oh! you should have seen her on her wedding day-
She was handsome as a Venus;
When the Parson made us one-ah! then the thing was done-
And I never felt so happy in my life.
So I've bought a little place out of town-
If you go by stop in and seeYou'll be welcomed by a wife that's as dear to me as life.
She's the yaller gal that winked at me.-Chorus.
