[Chorus]
Oh the girl I left
The girl I left
The girl I left behind me
If a-ever I cross that bridge again I'll pick her up behind me

(Break)

[Verse 2]
Last night I slept in the sycamore tree with the wind and the rain all around me
Tonight Ill sleep in the warmth of a bed with the girl I left behind me

[Chorus]
The girl I left
The girl I left
The girl I left behind me
If a-ever I cross that bridge again I'll pick her up behind me

(Break)

[Verse 3]
Oh shе jumped into bed and she covеred up her head
And she swore that I'd never find her
But I knew damn well that she lied like hell
So I jumped right in behind her
[Chorus]
The girl I left
The girl I left
The girl I left behind me
If a-ever I cross that bridge again I'll pick her up behind me

(Break)

[Chorus x2]
Oh the girl I left
The girl I left
The girl I left behind me
If a-ever I cross that bridge again I'll pick her up behind me
