Gene Autry That`s Why I Left The Mountains Lyrics

That`s Why I Left The Mountains Lyrics

I had a gal in the mountains 
She told me that she would be true 
But she messed around with another man 
Just what she shouldn`t do 
 
Now that`s why I left the mountains 
That`s why I went to roam 
That`s why I ain`t never goin` back 
Back to my mountain home 
 
She told me that she`d meet me 
One night at half past eight 
And I sood there for a long long time 
But my gal was two days late 
 
I said: we`d get married 
I told her a time and again 
But I can`t stand that kind of a gal 
That suits with other men  
 
I lie good for a nickel 
And I drink all that I can 
But my gal said she would never wed 
Another drinkin` man
