[C][D][Em][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I struck the trail [C]in sev
enty- nine
The [G]herd strung out behind me
As I jogged along my [C]mind went back
To the [D]gal I left be[G]hind

[Verse 2]
If I ever get off [C]the trail, boys
And the [G]Indians don't find me
I'll make my way straight [C]back again
To the [D]gal I left be[G]hind me

[Verse 3]
That sweet little gal, [G]that true little gal
The gal I left be[C]hind [D]me
That [Em]sweet little gal, that [C]pretty little gal
The [D]gal I left be[G]hind me

[Verse 4]
The wind did blow and the [C]rain did flow
The [G]hail did fall and blind me
And I thought of that gal,
that [C]sweet little gal
That [D]gal I'd left be[G]hind me

[Verse 5]
She wrote ahead to a [C]place I said
And [G]I was glad to find it
She says "I'm true,
when [C]you get through
Ride [D]back and you will [G]find me"

[Verse 6]
That sweet little gal, that [G]true little gal
The gal I left be[C]hind [D]me
That [Em]sweet little gal, that [C]pretty little gal
The [D]gal I left be[G]hind me
[C][G][C][D]

[Verse 7]
[G]
When we sold out I [C]took the train
I [G]knew that I would find her
When I got back, we [C]had a smack
[D]And that's no gol- darned [G]liar

[Verse 8]
That sweet little gal, [G]that true little gal
The gal I left be[C]hind [D]me
That [Em]sweet little gal, that [C]pretty little gal
The [D]gal I left be[G]hind me
