Lyrics of Green Eyed Gal by Lost Dog Street Band
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 you stated the way that it felt.
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
And I taste 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 you stated 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 you stated the way that it felt.
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
And I taste blood and death on my trail.
The Union army left our bodies
And I heard cryin' and I crew: "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 you stated the way that it felt.
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
And I taste blood and death on my trail.
Oh, and when I am gone, remember me well.
