The Girl I Left Behind |
| There was a wealthy old farmer |
| Lived in the country nearby |
| Well, he had a handsome daughter |
| On whom I cast my eye |
| Whom I cast my eye |
| Oh, I asked if it made any difference |
| If I crossed over the plains |
| Like why’d she be true to me |
| If I returned again |
| I returned again |
| She said that she’d be true to me |
| Til death doth proved unkind |
| So we kissed, shook hands and parted |
| And I left my girl behind |
| Left my girl behind |
| (Guitar solo) |
| (Accordion solo) |
| So I headed for old Missouri |
| Kind faces for to see |
| There was one Miss Molly Walker |
| Fell deep in love with me |
| Fell deep in love with me |
| She said your pockets shall be lined with gold |
| Your working days will be o’er |
| If you’ll consent to marry me |
| And swear you’ll roam no more |
| Swear you’ll roam no more |
| Well, if I consent to marry you |
| I’m sure I’ll be to blame |
| For the girl I left behind |
| Would laugh at me for shame |
| Laugh at me for shame |
| (Violin solo and end) |
