I’ll Get Mine By And By

See my gal meek as a lamb

Went to see my gal meek as a lamb

Went to see my gal meek as a lamb

When I left her I heard the back door slam

But I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

Where the chickens don’t roost so high

I’ll get mine by and by

Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt

Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt

Sitting on the doorstep without a doubt

Can’t get in a bunch coming out

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

Where the chickens don’t roost so high

I’ll get mine by and by

I saw a man coming across the field

I saw a man coming across the field

I saw a man coming across the field

Kicking up dust like an automobile

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

Where the chickens don’t roost so high

I’ll get mine by and by

Go to the river and turn to the right

Go to the river and turn to the right

Go to the river and turn to the right

And listen to the devil and the wildcat fight

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

I’ll get mine by and by

Where the chickens don’t roost so high

I’ll get mine by and by
