| Wrote her a letter when I’d known better and asked her to be my wife
|
| Along came a feller and hit me on the smeller and it almost took my life
|
| Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| Rode ahead to the place she said and always there you’ll see
|
| She said «I'm true, when you get through, ride back and you will find me.»
|
| Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The monkey and the frog, the turtle and the dog, the chick, the weasel,
|
| and the flea
|
| The fuzzy raccoon and the ugly baboon, they all got a wife but me
|
| Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| Last night I slept in a sycamore tree with the wind and the rain all around me
|
| Tonight I’ll sleep in a warm feather bed with the girl I left behind me
|
| Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
|
| The girl I left behind me
|
| The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
|
| The girl I left behind me |
