Lyrics of I gotta gal i love ( in north and south dakota )

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!
