FAT GAL by Merle Travis 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 piller 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!
