Merle Travis - Fat Gal Lyrics

She keeps me warm in the winter
Shady in the summertime
That's what I like about that fat gal of mine

And when I see my landlord
There's so much of her to hide behind
You wouldn't pay rent if your time was spent like mine

Now she's so sweet with the softest heart
She's pretty soft around other parts
And at night when I lay me down
I don't need a pillow when she's around

Warm in the winter
Shady in the summertime
That's what I like about that fat gal of mine

Now when she's tickled
So much of her has the biggest time
I tell all my jokes to that fat gal of mine

She's never fickle
You better put your name on the dotted line
First time you meet with that fat gal of mine

This hard time talk don't trouble me
I keep as happy as a honey bee
If things get rough and times get hard
I render my gal and sell the lard

Warm in the winter
Shady in the summertime
That's what I like about that fat gal of mine

Now she's my shelter in the time of storm
I helter skelter right under her arm
She's a beauty if you look at her face
And you shouldn't be looking at any other place

Warm in the winter
Shady in the summertime
That's what I like about that fat gal of mine
