Burl Ives - I Left My Gal In The Mountains      I left my gal in the mountains left her standing in the rain   Went down to the railroad caught myself a midnight train   I beat my way into Georgia landed in a gambling town   Got myself into trouble 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 pullman tain   Took me to Atlanta boys and tied me to a ball and chain      I left my gal in the mountains left her standing all alone   Last night I dreamed I got a letter saying honey won't you come back home   She said she was sad and lonely told me that her love was true   Then I dreamed I wrote her a letter saying honey I'm coming back to you      When I woke up this morning lying in Atlanta jail   No one here to love me no one to go my bail   Them prison bars all around me a guard walking by my door   My heart is sad and lonely boys cause I'll never see my gal no more
