Green Eyed Gal Lyrics
And I was born down in Georgia
Lonely gator cry was my lullaby
And we met in graveyard on a foggy Winter mornin'
And I was yours, and you were mine
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
And I tasted blood and death on my trail
And we wed in the springtime
And she wore flowers in her hair
And I swear I'll never leave you babe
But the War called my name and I did leave, you remained
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
And I taste blood and death on my trail
And bullets flyin' through the grey sky
And I lay broken on the cold Virginia ground
And I don't know how I got here, LORD
I thought I's back in Georgia, starin' in my darlin's eyes
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
And I tasted blood and death on my trail
The Union army left our bodies
And I heard cryin' God for mercy, Lord
Looked my breast pocket, found a torn photo of you
And I did pass into a lonesome tune
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
I remember your skin and the way that it felt
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
And I tasted blood and death on my trail
Oh, and when I am gone, remember me well
