Текст песни The Girl Left Behind (Folk Song Festival, 29th October, 1961) - Bob Dylan
There
was
a
wealthy
old
farmer
That
lived
in
a
county
nearby.
He
had
a
lovin'
daughter,
On
her
my
[sic]
cast
my
eye.
She
was
pretty
fair
an'
handsome
And
did
so
very
fine.
There
wasn't
a
girl
in
the
county
With
her
that
could
compare.
I
asked
her
if
she'd
be
willing
To
let
me
cross
over
the
plains.
She
said
it
would
be
alright
with
her
Just
so
I'd
return
again.
She
said
that
she'd
be
true
to
me
Till
death
would
be
unkind.
We
kissed,
shook
hands,
and
parted.
I
left
my
girl
behind.
Out
in
a
western
city,
boys,
A
town
you
all
know
well,
Where
everyone
was
friendly,
They'd
show
me
all
around.
The
work
an'
money
was
plentyful,
And
the
girls
to
me
were
kind.
But
the
only
girl
I
thought
about
Was
the
girl
I'd
left
behind.
One
day
when
I
was
ramblin'
'round
Down
by
the
public
square,
The
mail
coach
it
came
in,
And
I
met
the
mail
bearer
[PRONOUNCED
'bar']
there.
He
handed
me
a
letter,
gave
me
to
understand
That
the
girl
I
left
in
old
Texas
She
married
another
man.
I
turned
myself
all
around
and
around
Not
knowing
what
else
to
do.
I
rid
down
a
little
pace
further,
Just
to
see
if
these
words
were
true.
It's
drinkin'
I
throw
over,
Card
playin'
I'll
resign,
For
the
only
girl
I
ever
did
love
Was
the
girl
I
left
behind.
Come
around,
you
ramblin'
gamblin'
men,
And
listen
while
I
tell.
If
it
does
to
you
no
good,
kind
friends,
I'm
a-sure
it
will
do
you
no
harm.
If
you
ever
find
you
a
fair
young
maid,
Just
marry
her
while
you
can.
For
if
you
ever
cross
over
the
plain,
She'll
marry
another
man.
