Goodbye Old Pal — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

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 a, de oh lady oh, de ladie

My best pal was my old paint horse and now he`s gone to rest
I laid him down beneath that mound 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

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
