Goodbye Lefty - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

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

And how much he meant to me nobody knows

The long black veil that Alice wore like words he sang some years before

She loved him too that’s the way love goes
