Lefty Frizzell – My Old Pal lyrics

I'm thinking of you tonight old pal and wishing that you was here
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you filled my heart with cheer
I remember the nights when all alone we sang sweet dotted line
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of mine
The old pals are always the best you see new friends you could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be like the old pals of yesterday
[ fiddle ]
I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your face again to see
But in my checked life I find nothing comes right it seems
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be only in dreams
The old pals are always...
