Burl Ives - I Left My Gal In The Mountains



I left my gal in the mountains left her standing in the rain

Went down to the railroad caught myself a midnight train

I beat my way into Georgia landed in a gambling town

Got myself into trouble 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 pullman tain

Took me to Atlanta boys and tied me to a ball and chain



I left my gal in the mountains left her standing all alone

Last night I dreamed I got a letter saying honey won't you come back home

She said she was sad and lonely told me that her love was true

Then I dreamed I wrote her a letter saying honey I'm coming back to you



When I woke up this morning lying in Atlanta jail

No one here to love me no one to go my bail

Them prison bars all around me a guard walking by my door

My heart is sad and lonely boys cause I'll never see my gal no more
