Green Eyed Gal Songtext
von Lost Dog Street Band

And I was born down in Georgia
Lonely gator cry was my lullaby, and we
We met in the graveyard on a foggy winter mornin′
And I was yours, you were mine

Oh, and where have you gone, my green-eyed girl?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast rock the gates of Hell
And I taste blood and death on my trail

And we wed in the springtime
And she wore flowers in her hair
And I swear I'll never leave you, babe
But the war called my name, and I did leave
You remained


Oh, and where have you gone, my green-eyed girl?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast rock the gates of Hell
And I taste blood and death on my trail

And bullets flyin′ through the grey sky
And I lay broken on the cold Virginia ground
And I don't know how I got here, Lord
I thought I's back in Georgia, starin′ in my darling′s eyes

Oh, and where have you gone, my green-eyed girl?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast rock the gates of Hell
And I taste blood and death on my trail

The Union army left our bodies
And I heard cryin', God, for mercy, oh
Felt in my breast pocket, found a torn photo of you
And I did pass into a lonesome tune

Oh, and where have you gone, my green-eyed girl?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast rock the gates of Hell
And I taste blood and death on my trail


Oh, and when I am gone, remember me well
