Goodbye Old Pal

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
