Asleep At The Wheel feat. The Avett Brothers - Still the King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

The Girl I Left Behind Me

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
