The Girl I Left Behind
I wrote her a letter when I'd known better
And asked her to be my wife
Along came a fella 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
She rode ahead to the place I 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
If ever I get off of the trail
And the Indians, they don't find me
I'll make my way straight back again
To 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
And asked her to be my wife
Along came a fella 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
She rode ahead to the place I 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
If ever I get off of the trail
And the Indians, they don't find me
I'll make my way straight back again
To 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
