Goodbye Old Pal

Along about round-up time In Texas away out West
I lost a friend and a pal boys I laid him down to rest
I weeped and moaned o’er 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 oh, de 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 o’er his grave and the coyotes cry
I know he sleeps in perfect peace beneath the Texas sky

Oh de lady oh, de lady oh, de ladie

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

Oh de lady oh, de lady oh, de ladie
