My Sweet Italian Gal (21 Feb 1913)
Berlin Irving [1st verse:] Upon the day I take the steam-a ship And sail across the sea I make-a much-a grieve because I leave The girl I love in Italy You talk about your nice fine sweet-a gal They don't come one, two, three With the first-class gal I leave in Italy
[chorus:] My sweet Italian gal She love her Italian fell' And when she love me well I feel like I can't tell And say, she's got one great big heart Like-a push-a cart Just for her, I'd go and put my pick and shove' in hock I'd jump into the river and I swim-a like a rock That's how much I love my Italian gal
[2nd verse:] If I would meet a nice kind fairy queen Who'd give my wish to me You bet your life, I'd wish to be a fish And swim right back to Italy Because the gal I love is over there And waiting patiently 'Cause she needs me there to help her raise a family
