I Gotta Gal I Love (In North And South Dakota)

I could have married Imogene, or Josephine or Mame
And I could have married Sally Lou, or let's see, what's her name?
But I thought and thought and thought and thought and now my heart's at rest
'Cause I have sixed out to a vent, and you can have the rest

I got a gal I love in North and South Dakota
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota
I guess that two gals puts me one above the quota
Still I get a gal in North and South Dakota
Oooo, oooo, wish I knew which of my true loves is true
I got a gal I love in North and South Dakota
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota
Just wait till they hear about the gal in Minnesota
It's a situation, partner, that vexes
Guess I go back to the gal I love in Texas

I guess I've even lost that gal in Minnesota
It's a situation, partner, that vexes
If I had the nerve I could go back to Texas
Oooo, oooo, guess I'll go back to the gal I love in Texas
Hey, Pedro, hold it on!
