Gene Autry - Left My Gal In The Mountains lyrics

(yodelahee...) Left my gal in the mountains Left her standing in the rain Went down to the railroad Caught myself a midnight train Lead my way to Georgia Landed in a gambling town Got myself into trouble And shot a county sheriff down The jury read the verdict Murder in the first degree The judge said: take this prisoner To the penitentiary They put the handcuffs on me Put me on a prison train Took me to A'lanta And tied me with the ball and chain (yodelahee...) Left my gal in the mountains Left her waitin' all alone Last night I dreamed I got a letter Saying: honey, won't you come home? She said, she was sad and lonely Told me that her love was true Then I dreamed I wrote a letter Sayin': honey, I'm coming back to you Then I woke up this morning Lyin' in Atlanta jail No one here to love me No one to go my bail That prison was all around me I got walkin' by the door My sweetheart is sad and lonely Cause I'll never see my gal no more
