Goodbye Old Pal Lyrics
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-ay, de-oh-lady-oh, de-ladie-ey
My best pal was my old paint horse, now he's gone to rest
I laid him down beneath that mound in 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
Oh-de-lady-ay, de-oh-lady-oh, de-ladie-ey
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
Oh-de-lady-ay, de-oh-lady-oh, de-ladie-ey
Oh-de-lay-hee, hoo
I lost a friend and a pal, boys, I laid him down to rest
'Cause I knew down beneath that mound lay the best pal I ever had
I laid him down beneath that mound in in Texas away out West
I know he sleeps in perfect peace beneath the Texas sky
Now I'll go and ride the range on the Texas roan
I will always think of you, although you're dead and gone
