Merle Travis — Fat Gal

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 pillar 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 with a big fat gal like mine This hard-time talk don't trouble me I keep as happy as a honeybee If things get rough and times get hard I'll 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 a-lookin' any other place Warm in the winter Shady in the summertime That's what I like about that fat gal of mine
