Balsam Range Goodbye Old Pal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was long about round up time Texas way out where
I lost a friend in a pile of boys
I let him down to rest
How we moaned o'er his grave
We boys sad
'Cause I knew beneath that mountain
Lay the best pal I'd ever had

(Yodelling)
[Verse 2]
My best pal was an old paint horse and now he's gone to rest
I laid him down beneath that mountain in Texas, way out west
Where the cactus blooms overage grey and the coyotes cry I know he sleeps in prefect peace beneath that Texas sky

(Yodelling)

[Verse 3]
Dear old pal, it breaks my heart to leave you here alone
Now I'll go and ride the reins on a Texas road
But my love for you old pal, it shall linger on
I will always think of you although you're dead and gone

(Yodelling)

[Interlude]
