Bilingual
I wrote her a letter, and I knowed better
And I asked her to be my wife
Along come a feller, and he hit me on the smeller
And it almost took my life
Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
The girl I left behind me
The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
The girl I left behind me
She wrote ahead to the place I said
It was always there you see
She said I'm through when you get through
Right back and you will find me
Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
The girl I left behind me
The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
The girl I left behind me
The monkey, the frog, the turtle and the dog
The chicken, the wheedle and the flea
The little fuzzy coon and the ugly baboon
They all got a wife but me
Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
The girl I left behind me
The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
The girl I left behind me
If ever I get off of my trail
And the Indians they don't find me
I'll make my way straight back again
To the girl I left behind me
Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
The girl I left behind me
The rosy cheeks and the curly hair
The girl I left behind me
