Goodbye Old Pal

by Don Edwards

on Moonlight and Skies (2006)

Along about round-up time in Texas way out West
I lost a pal and a friend, boys and I laid him down to rest
I weeped and moaned o'er his grave, to me boys it was sad
I know down beneath that mound is the best pal I ever had

Now my best pal was my good cow horse and now he's gone to rest
I laid him down beneath that mound in Texas away out West
Where the cactus blooms o'er his grave and the coyotes cry
I know he sleeps in perfect peace beneath the Texas sky

Dear old pal it breaks my heart to leave you here alone
I'll go back and ride the range on that Texas roan
But my love for you old pal it will linger on
I will always think of you although you're dead and gone

Dear old pal it breaks my heart to leave you here alone
I'll go back and ride the range on that Texas roan
But my love for you old pal it will linger on
I will always think of you although you're dead and gone
