Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago,
E B7 E
I taken my gal to a country store.

Taken my gal to a country store,

I bought my gal some calico.
(Chorus)
E D
I taken my gal to a country store,
E B7 E
I bought my gal some calico,
E D
Taken my gal to a party-o
E B7 E
Wouldn't let her dance but a set or so.
(Chorus)
E D
You take Sal and I'll take Jane
E B7 E
Both good lookin', but they ain't the same
E D
You swing Sal and I'll swing Sue
E B7 E
Mighty little difference between the two.
(Chorus)
