Song | Left My Gal In The Mountains |
Artist | Hank Thompson |
Album | Songs For Rounders - At the Golden Nugget |
I left my gal in the mountains | |
I left her standing in the rain | |
I went down to the depot | |
Caught myself a midnight train | |
Made my way down to Georgia | |
Land it in a gambling town | |
Got myself in trouble | |
â€~Cause I shot a county sheriff down | |
The jury read my verdict | |
Murder in the first degree | |
The judge said, "Take that prisoner | |
To the penitentiary" | |
They put the handcuffs on me | |
Put me on the Pullman train | |
Took me to Atlanta | |
Tied me to a ball and chain | |
I left my gal in the mountains | |
I left her standing all alone | |
Last night I dreamed I got a letter | |
Saying, ‽Baby, won't you please come home?†| |
She told me that she loved me | |
Said that she loved me true | |
Then I dreamed I wrote a letter | |
Saying, ‽I'ma coming home to you†| |
Then I awoke up this morning | |
Lyin' in Atlanta jail | |
No one here to love me | |
No one to go my bail | |
Prison bars all around me | |
The guard walking by my door | |
I'm so sad and lonely | |
â€~Cause I'll never see my gal no more | |
I'll never see my gal no more |
I left my gal in the mountains | |
I left her standing in the rain | |
I went down to the depot | |
Caught myself a midnight train | |
Made my way down to Georgia | |
Land it in a gambling town | |
Got myself in trouble | |
Cause I shot a county sheriff down | |
The jury read my verdict | |
Murder in the first degree | |
The judge said, " Take that prisoner | |
To the penitentiary" | |
They put the handcuffs on me | |
Put me on the Pullman train | |
Took me to Atlanta | |
Tied me to a ball and chain | |
I left my gal in the mountains | |
I left her standing all alone | |
Last night I dreamed I got a letter | |
Saying, Baby, won' t you please come home? | |
She told me that she loved me | |
Said that she loved me true | |
Then I dreamed I wrote a letter | |
Saying, I' ma coming home to you | |
Then I awoke up this morning | |
Lyin' in Atlanta jail | |
No one here to love me | |
No one to go my bail | |
Prison bars all around me | |
The guard walking by my door | |
I' m so sad and lonely | |
Cause I' ll never see my gal no more | |
I' ll never see my gal no more |
