Bill Monroe - Good-Bye Old Pal Lyrics
Along about round-up time In Texas way out WestI lost a friend and a pal, boys I laid him down to restI 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 hadOh de lady a, de oh lady oh, de ladieMy best pal was my old paint horse and now he's gone to restI laid him down beneath that mound in Texas away out WestWhere the cactus blooms over his grave and the coyotes cryI know he sleeps in perfect peace beneath the Texas skyDear old pal it breaks my heart to leave you here aloneNow I'll go and ride the range on the Texas roanBut my love for you old pal it shall linger onI will always think of you although you're dead and gone
