<p class="tit-song">THE GAL I LEFT BEHIND ME <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page342" name="page342"></SPAN>(p. 342)</span></p>
<p>I struck the trail in seventy-nine,<br/>
The herd strung out behind me;<br/>
As I jogged along my mind ran back<br/>
For the gal I left behind me.<br/>
<span class="add2em">That sweet little gal, that true little gal,</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">The gal I left behind me!</span></p>
<p>If ever I get off the trail<br/>
And the Indians they don't find me,<br/>
I'll make my way straight back again<br/>
To the gal I left behind me.<br/>
<span class="add2em">That sweet little gal, that true little gal,</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">The gal I left behind me!</span></p>
<p>The wind did blow, the rain did flow,<br/>
The hail did fall and blind me;<br/>
I thought of that gal, that sweet little gal,<br/>
That gal I'd left behind me!<br/>
<span class="add2em">That sweet little gal, that true little gal,</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">The gal I left behind me!</span></p>
<p>She wrote ahead to the place I said,<br/>
I was always glad to find it.<br/>
She says, "I am true, when you get through<br/>
Right back here you will find me."<br/>
<span class="add2em">That <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page343" name="page343"></SPAN>(p. 343)</span> sweet little gal, that true little gal,</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">The gal I left behind me!</span></p>
<p>When we sold out I took the train,<br/>
I knew where I would find her;<br/>
When I got back we had a smack<br/>
And that was no gol-darned liar.<br/>
<span class="add2em">That sweet little gal, that true little gal,</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">The gal I left behind me!</span></p>
