Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How I love to see the country gal
When them put on them fancy clothes
Wee checkered skirt and blouse to match
?

The country gal them country gal
I love those girls tis true
Them have them own peculiar style

And they make you happy all the while

When you see them going to market
It's like them going to be wed
?
?

And then them stepping down the hill
?
And sometimes why them steps so high
And them new black shoes ?

The country gal, the country gal
I love them girls be true
Them have them own peculiar style
And they make you happy all the while

You may see ??
Proudly bringing up the rear
And if the tourist are fly past
Everybody laugh and cheer

Yes I really love the country gal
?
?
?

The country gal, the country gal
I love them girls be true

Them have them own peculiar style
And they make you happy all the while
