<< Back to Hoagy Carmichael Song List

Version 1

            [Verse 1]

 G
I gotta gal that's mighty sweet
                    D
With big blue eyes and tiny feet
      G
Her name is Rosabelle Magee
           D                       G
And she tips the scale at three o three

[Chorus]
    C                   A
Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl
            Dm
So big and fat that when you go to hug her

You don't know where you're at
                              G
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
      C             A
And hug a way and chalk a mark
     Dm              G
To see where you began

     C                  A
One day when I was a huggin' and a chalkin'
        Dm
And a chalkin' and a huggin' away
        F                            Em           A   Dm
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
           G              C              A       Dm
Comin' around the other way, 'round the mountain
          G              C
Comin' around the other way

[Bridge]
C G


[Verse 2]
   G
Nobody ever said I'm weak
                             D
My bones don't ache and my joints don't creak
    G
But I grow absolutely limp
        D                   G
Every time I kiss my baby blimp.

[Chorus 2]
     C          A                                 Dm
One day I had a yen for some one leaner, she was meaner than a
                      F                           Em        A   Dm
Mink in a pen. So I left her now I'm happy as a fella could be
              G                  C              A     Dm
Huggin' and chalkin' in once again 'round my Rosie
              G                 C
Huggin' and chalkin' once again

     C              A                           Dm
One day I was a huggin' and a chalkin' and a beggin' her to be my bride
        F                             Em             Dm
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
            G              C            A       Dm
Comin' around the other side of the mountain
           G               C
Comin' around the other side, over the great divide.
