[00:09.40]There was a wealthy old farmer
[00:13.30]That lived in a county nearby.
[00:17.30]He had a lovin' daughter,
[00:21.40]On her my (sic) cast my eye.
[00:25.20]She was pretty fair an' handsome
[00:29.30]And did so very fine.
[00:33.10]There wasn't a girl in the county
[00:37.10]With her that could compare.
[00:41.30]
[00:46.10]I asked her if she'd be willing
[00:50.40]To let me cross over the plains.
[00:54.30]She said it would be alright with her
[00:58.30]Just so I'd return again.
[01:01.00]She said that she'd be true to me
[01:07.40]Till death would be unkind.
[01:11.40]We kissed, shook hands, and parted.
[01:16.10]I left my girl behind.
[01:19.30]
[01:25.00]Out in a western city, boys,
[01:29.40]A town you all know well,
[01:32.10]Where everyone was friendly,
[01:37.10]They'd show me all around.
[01:42.10]The work an' money was plentiful,
[01:46.10]And the girls to me were kind.
[01:50.00]But the only girl I thought about
[01:57.00]Was the girl I'd left behind.
[01:59:50]
[02:06.40]One day when I was ramblin' 'round
[02:11.40]Down by the public square,
[02:15.20]The mail coach it came in,
[02:18.20]And I met the mail bearer (PRONOUNCED 'bar') there.
[02:23.00]He handed me a letter, gave me to understand
[02:31.00]That the girl I left in old Texas
[02:37.00]She married another man.
[02:41.10]
[02:47.00]I turned myself all around and around
[02:51.00]Not knowing what else to do.
[02:54.40]I rid down a little pace further,
[02:59.00]Just to see if these words were true.
[03:02:00]It's drinkin' I throw over,
[03:07:30]Card playin' I'll resign,
[03:11:10]For the only girl I ever did love
[03:16:30]Was the girl I left behind.
[03:21:30]
[03:26:00]Come around, you ramblin' gamblin' men,
[03:30:40]And listen while I tell.
[03:34:40]If it does to you no good, kind friends,
[03:38:40]I'm a-sure it will do you no harm.
[03:42:10]If you ever find you a fair young maid,
[03:49:20]Just marry her while you can.
[03:52:30]
[03:56:00]For if you ever cross over the plain,
[04:01.20]she'll marry another man.
[04:04.20]
