Gallivantin Galveston Gal

A E E7 A


[Verse]
      A
She’s got no time to settle down
    E
She gives my heart the runaround
    E7            E9        A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal
    A
She only wants to kiss and run
       E
‘Cause she’s so busy havin’ fun
    E7            E9        A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal

    A
I’d like to ask her to be mine
    D
But she sure makes it tough
    B7
How can I pop the question
          E              E7
She don’t sit still long enough

      A
She’s leadin’ me on merry chase
     E
What I go through just to embrace
     E7                     A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal

~keys solo, fiddle solo, keys solo~

    A
One night I called her on the phone
     E
They said she’d left for San Antone
     E7                     A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal

  A
A few nights later she was seen
  E
Between Fort Worth and Abilene
     E7                     A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal

    A
She doesn’t give me half a chance
   D
To let romance begin
   B7
So if I want some lovin’
          E                 E7
I’ll just have to fence her in

     A
I’ll get her in my arms someday
    E
And never let her get away
     E7                     A
That gallivantin’ Galveston gal

    A
She doesn’t give me half a chance
   D
To let romance begin
   B7
So if I want some lovin’
          E                 E7
I’ll just have to fence her in

     A
I’ll get her in my arms someday
    E
And never let her get away
     E7                     A
