I Left My Gal In The Mountains 歌词

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
