Left My Gal In The Mountains Lyrics

Gene Autry Left My Gal In The Mountains

(yodelahee...) Left my gal in the mountains
Left her standing in the rain
Went down to the railroad
Caught myself a midnight train Lead my way to Georgia
Landed in a gambling town
Got myself into trouble
And shot a county sheriff down The jury read the verdict
Murder in the first degree
The judge said: take this prisoner
To the penitentiary They put the handcuffs on me
Put me on a prison train
Took me to A'lanta
And tied me with the ball and chain (yodelahee...) Left my gal in the mountains
Left her waitin' all alone
Last night I dreamed I got a letter
Saying: honey, won't you come home? She said, she was sad and lonely
Told me that her love was true
Then I dreamed I wrote a letter
Sayin': honey, I'm coming back to you Then I woke up this morning
Lyin' in Atlanta jail
No one here to love me
No one to go my bail That prison was all around me
I got walkin' by the door
My sweetheart is sad and lonely
Cause I'll never see my gal no more
