D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
                  A7
The girl I left behind me
    D                 G
If ever I cross that bridge again
     A7            D
I'll pick her up behind me

[Fiddle Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
Last night I slept in a Sycamore tree
                           A7
With the wind and rain all around me
D                       G
Tonight I'll sleep in a warm feather bed
          A7           D
With that girl I left behind me

[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
                  A7
The girl I left behind me
    D                 G
If ever I cross that bridge again
     A7            D
I'll pick her up behind me

[Banjo Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
Oh she jumped in bed, and she covered up her head
                     A7
And swore I couldn't find her
      D                         G
But I knew damn well, that she lied like hell
     A7              D
So I jumped right in behind her

[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
                  A7
The girl I left behind me
    D                 G
If ever I cross that bridge again
     A7            D
I'll pick her up behind me

[Mandolin Instrumental]

[Chorus]
D
Oh, the girl I left, the girl I left
                  A7
The girl I left behind me
    D                 G
If ever I cross that bridge again
     A7            D
I'll pick her up behind me
