I Left My Gal In The Mountains - Gene Autry

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
