Goodbye Lefty Lyrics

Words and music by Merle Haggard
CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G
I'd love to hear a jukebox play
I love you a thousand ways
Or if you've got the money, I've got the time
I'd walk a mile for Mom and Dad
And the good times that we had
Look what thoughts will do
When you sing old pal of mine.
But the old, old man is gone
There'll be no more Lefty songs
How much he meant to me, nobody knows
The long black veil that Alice wore
Like words he sang some years be- fore
she loved him, too ...
That's the way love goes.
