the gal i left behind
Singer:arlo guthrie
i struck the trail in seventy-nine
the herd strung out behind me
as i jogged along my mind went back
if i ever get off the trail
and the indians don't find me
i'll make my way straight back again
to the gal i left behind me
the wind did blow and the rain did flow
the hail did fall and blind me
and i thought of that gal
that gal i'd left behind me
she wrote ahead to a place i said
and i was glad to find it
