D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
A7
The girl I left behind me
D G
If ever I cross that bridge again
A7 D
I'll pick her up behind me
[Fiddle Instrumental]
[Verse]
D
Last night I slept in a Sycamore tree
A7
With the wind and rain all around me
D G
Tonight I'll sleep in a warm feather bed
A7 D
With that girl I left behind me
[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
A7
The girl I left behind me
D G
If ever I cross that bridge again
A7 D
I'll pick her up behind me
[Banjo Instrumental]
[Verse]
D
Oh she jumped in bed, and she covered up her head
A7
And swore I couldn't find her
D G
But I knew damn well, that she lied like hell
A7 D
So I jumped right in behind her
[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
A7
The girl I left behind me
D G
If ever I cross that bridge again
A7 D
I'll pick her up behind me
[Mandolin Instrumental]
[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
A7
The girl I left behind me
D G
If ever I cross that bridge again
A7 D
I'll pick her up behind me
