[00:00.00]The Girl I Left Behind - Levon Helm
[00:25.44]There was a wealthy old farmer
[00:28.08]Lived in the country nearby
[00:30.92]Well he had a handsome daughter
[00:33.63]On whom I cast my eye
[00:36.72]Whom I cast my eye
[00:43.47]Oh I asked if it made any difference
[00:46.02]If I crossed over the plains
[00:48.87]Like why'd she be true to me
[00:51.63]If I returned again
[00:54.62]I returned again
[01:01.30]She said that she'd be true to me
[01:04.22]Til death doth proved unkind
[01:06.74]So we kissed shook hands and parted
[01:09.39]And I left my girl behind
[01:12.57]Left my girl behind
[01:55.06]So I headed for old Missouri
[01:57.65]Kind faces for to see
[02:00.65]There was one Miss Molly Walker
[02:03.34]Fell deep in love with me
[02:06.49]Fell deep in love with me
[02:12.39]She said your pockets shall be lined with gold
[02:15.79]Your working days will be o'er
[02:18.62]If you'll consent to marry me
[02:21.37]And swear you'll roam no more
[02:24.30]Swear you'll roam no more
[02:31.17]Well if I consent to marry you
[02:33.81]I'm sure I'll be to blame
[02:36.54]For the girl I left behind
[02:38.86]Would laugh at me for shame
[02:42.10]Laugh at me for shame
