Goodbye Lefty Songtext
von Merle Haggard

(Merle Haggard)

I′d love to hear a jukebox play I love you a thousand ways
Or if you've got the money I′ve got the time
I'd walk a mile for mom and dad and the good times that we had
Look what thoughts will do when you sing old pal of mine.


But the old old man is gone, there'll be no more Lefty songs
And how much he meant to me nobody knows
The long black veil that Alice wore like words he sang some years before
She loved him too that′s the way love goes.

But the old old man is gone, there′ll be no more Lefty songs
And how much he meant to me nobody knows
The long black veil that Alice wore like words he sang some years before
She loved him too that's the way love goes...
