Once I had a little girl
Sweetest girl, the whole wide world
I love her and she love me
She’ll sail away across the big blue sea
Never figure that Roy stuffed Trigger

Just came home and bob right a day
Finding a way to another land
Join myself up a rock n roll band
Never figure that Roy stuffed Trigger
It won’t fail and he'll stuff Dale
Playing my guitar and sing a song
Somehow all seem to be wrong
Then one day at a streak of luck
Heard my baby been hit by a truck
Never figure that Roy stuffed Trigger
It won’t fail and next, he'll stuff Dale
Kill that Trigger!
