Lyrics
Goodbye Lefty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd love to hear a jukebox play
I love you a thousand ways
Or if you've got the money I've got the time
I'd walk a mile for Mom and Dad
And the good times that we had
Look what thoughts will do
When you sing old pal of mine
But the old old man is gone
There'll be no more Lefty songs
How much he meant to me nobody knows
The long black veil that Alice wore
Like words he sang some years before
She loved him too that's the way love goes
