Thats Why I Left The Mountains by Gene Autry Lyrics
I had a gal in the mountains
She told me that she would be true
But she messed around with another man
Just what she shouldn't do
Now that's why I left the mountains
That's why I went to roam
That's why I ain't never goin' back
Back to my mountain home
She told me that she'd meet me
One night at half past eight
And I sood there for a long long time
But my gal was two days late
I said: we'd get married
I told her a time and again
But I can't stand that kind of a gal
That suits with other men
I lie good for a nickel
And I drink all that I can
But my gal said she would never wed
Another drinkin' man
She told me that she would be true
But she messed around with another man
Just what she shouldn't do
Now that's why I left the mountains
That's why I went to roam
That's why I ain't never goin' back
Back to my mountain home
She told me that she'd meet me
One night at half past eight
And I sood there for a long long time
But my gal was two days late
I said: we'd get married
I told her a time and again
But I can't stand that kind of a gal
That suits with other men
I lie good for a nickel
And I drink all that I can
But my gal said she would never wed
Another drinkin' man
