Along about round-up time In Texas way out West |
|
I lost a friend and a pal, boys I laid him down to rest |
|
I weeped and moaned over his grave and to me boys it was sad |
|
'Cause I knew down beneath that mound lay the best pal I ever had |
|
Oh de lady a, de oh lady oh, de ladie |
|
My best pal was my old paint horse and now he's gone to rest |
|
I laid him down beneath that mound in Texas away out West |
|
Where the cactus blooms over his grave and the coyotes cry |
|
I know he sleeps in perfect peace beneath the Texas sky |
|
Dear old pal it breaks my heart to leave you here alone |
|
Now I'll go and ride the range on the Texas roan |
|
But my love for you old pal it shall linger on |
|
I will always think of you although you're dead and gone |
