Took My Gal Out Walkin' Lyrics

I took my gal out walkin', it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walkin' and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd kiss me and this is what she said
She said she wouldn't kiss me so I kissed her instead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I took my gal out walkin', it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walkin' and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd marry me, this is what she said
She said she wouldn't marry me if the rest of the world was dead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I took my gal out walkin', it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walkin' and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd kiss me and this is what she said
She said she wouldn't kiss me so I kissed her instead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I took my gal out walkin', it was on one Saturday night
I took my gal out walkin' and the moon was shining bright
I asked her if she'd marry me, this is what she said
She said she wouldn't marry me if the rest of the world was dead

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
If I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

I ain't got nobody, just as blue as can be
I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me
I don't get somebody, I'll go back to the farm
Milk the cows and the chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
