Arlo Guthrie - The Gal I Left Behind Lyrics
I struck the trail in seventy-nineThe herd strung out behind meAs I jogged along my mind went backTo the gal I left behindIf I ever get off the trail, boysAnd the Indians don't find meI'll make my way straight back againTo the gal I left behind meCHORUS:That sweet little gal, that true little galThe gal I left behind meThat sweet little gal, that pretty little galThe gal I left behind meThe wind did blow and the rain did flowThe hail did fall and blind meAnd I thought of that gal, that sweet little galThat gal I'd left behind meShe wrote ahead to a place I saidAnd I was glad to find itShe says ""I'm true, when you get throughRide back and you will find me""CHORUSWhen we sold out I took the trainI knew that I would find herWhen I got back, we had a smackAnd that's no gol-darned liarCHORUS
