SOMEBODY STOLE MY GAL
Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue.
I've found out something I never knew.
I know now what it means to be sad,
For I've lost the best gal I ever had;
She only left yesterday, Somebody stole her away.
Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know,
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal
Angels they say are only above
I know that's wrong because my old love
Sure is an angel, take it from me
And she's all the angel I want to see
Maybe she'll come back some day
All I can do now is pray
Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal.
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my gal!
Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue.
I've found out something I never knew.
I know now what it means to be sad,
For I've lost the best gal I ever had;
She only left yesterday, Somebody stole her away.
Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know,
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal
Angels they say are only above
I know that's wrong because my old love
Sure is an angel, take it from me
And she's all the angel I want to see
Maybe she'll come back some day
All I can do now is pray
Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal.
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my gal!
