歌曲歌詞
there was a wealthy old farmer
that lived in a county nearby.
he had a lovin' daughter,
on her my (sic) cast my eye.
she was pretty fair an' handsome
and did so very fine.
there wasn't a girl in the county
with her that could compare.
i asked her if she'd be willing
to let me cross over the plains.
she said it would be alright with her
just so i'd return again.
she said that she'd be true to me
till death would be unkind.
we kissed, shook hands, and parted.
i left my girl behind.
out in a western city, boys,
a town you all know well,
where everyone was friendly,
they'd show me all around.
the work an' money was plentiful,
and the girls to me were kind.
but the only girl i thought about
was the girl i'd left behind.
one day when i was ramblin' 'round
down by the public square,
the mail coach it came in,
and i met the mail bearer (pronounced 'bar') there.
he handed me a letter, gave me to understand
that the girl i left in old texas
she married another man.
i turned myself all around and around
not knowing what else to do.
i rid down a little pace further,
just to see if these words were true.
she'll marry another man.
