Lyrics

I've got a pal, A reg'lar out an' outer, She's a dear good old gal, I'll tell yer all about 'er. It's many years since fust we met, 'Er 'air was then as black as jet, It's whiter now, but she don't fret, Not my old gal We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much, There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch. I calls 'er Sal, 'Er proper name is Sairer, An' yer may find a gal As you'd consider fairer. She ain't a angel — she can start A-jawin' till it makes yer smart, She's just a woman, bless 'er eart, Is my old gal! We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much, There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch. Sweet fine old gal, For worlds I wouldn't lose 'er, She's a dear good old gal, An' that's what made me choose 'er. She's stuck to me through thick and thin, When luck was out, when luck was in, Ah wot a wife to me she's been, An' wot a pal! We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much, There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch. I sees yer Sal — Yer pretty ribbons sportin' Many years now, old gal, Since them young days of courtin'. I ain't a coward, still I trust When we've to part, as part we must, That Death may come and take me fust To wait... my pal! We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much, There ain't a lady livin' in the land As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch.
