I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,

There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,

I guess the two gals put me one above the quota,

Still, I gotta gal in North an' South Dakota!



( Doo do, Doo, got lot's of gals! )



Wish I knew which one of my two love's is true . . .

I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,

There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,

Just wait 'till they hear about that gal in Minnesota . . .

Ah, it's a situation partner that vexes,

Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!



( Doo do, Don't want no other gal! )



I guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!



< instrumental bridge >



Gotta gal he loves in North an' South Dakota,

There ain't no difference in his love, not one iota,

Wait 'till they hear about that gal in Minnesota . . .

Ah, that's a situation partner that vexes ( Doo do )

Guess I'll go back to the one I love in Texas!



Doo, doo, wish he knew what he should do,

Wish he knew which of his two loves is true . . .

I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,

There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota . . .

Wait 'till they hear all about that girl in Minnesota . . .

Ah, there's a situation partner that vexes

Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas! ( Texas, Texas, Texas! )

Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!
