Merle Haggard - My Old Pal lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers - Elsie McWilliams)

I'm thinking of you tonight old pal

And wishing that you were 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 Adoline

No other face can take your place

In my heart old pal of mine.

Now the old pals are always the best you see

New friends you can find every day

But they can't fill their places or ever be

Like the old pals of yesterday.

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.

I remember the nights when all alone

We sang Sweet Adoline

No other face can take your place

In my heart old pal of mine.

Now the old pals are always the best you see

New friends you can find every day

But they can't fill their places or ever be

Like the old pals of yesterday...
