Goodbye Old Pal

Goodbye Old Pal - Bill Monroe

Written by：Monroe

It

Along about round up time in

Texas way out west

I lost a friend and a pal

Boys I laid him down to rest

I weeped and moaned over his grave

And to me boys it was sad

'Cause I knew down beneath

That mound lay the best pal

I ever had

I have a lady

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

Over his grave and the coyotes cry

I know he sleeps in perfect

Peace beneath the Texas sky

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
