OH, THAT GAL (THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME) (Play-Party) Sung by: Jack Escue Recorded in Sidney, AR 8/30/57 Click here to listen to the original recording Swing her by the right hand. Swing your partner by the left, Promenade the girl behind you. Oh, that girl, that pretty little girl, The girl I left on Piney, Swap my wife with a barlow knife, To see that girl on Piney. (Chorus) Oh, that girl, that pretty little girl, The girl I left on Piney, Swap my wife with a barlow knife, To see that girl behind me. (Mr. Escue: "Now, in this sing and play, everybody is swinging. Each man swings the opposite lady by the right hand and his partner back by the left and promenades the opposite lady all around the ring.") Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #546, "The Girl I Left Behind Me." |
