D7 |
| That |
sweet little gal, that |
true little gal, |
That gal I left behind me.
If I ever get off the trail
And the Indians they don't find me,
I'll make my way straight back again
To the gal I left behind me.
The wind did blow, the rain did flow,
The hail did fall and blind me;
I thought of that gal, that sweet little gal,
That gal I'd left behind me.
She wrote ahead to the place I said,
I was always glad to find it;
She says, "I'm true, when you get through,
Ride back and you will find me."
When we sold out, I took the train,
I knew when I would find her;
When I got back, we had a smack,
And that was no gol-darned liar.
