That's Why I Left the Mountains Songtext
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
