I dropped a
quarter in the slot and pressed A-42,
the bass
line started hummin' from afar,
the guy
behind the counter mixed me up another brew,
I saw my
teardrops splashin' on the bar.
The pain was
like a bullwhip - just one year ago today
my little
Dolly lost her gallant fight,
the angels
came 'a callin' and they took my girl away
and still I
cry most every single night.
Her favorite
song. I still recall her eyes aglow at me
each time I
hummed that sentimental tune,
I'd put my
arms around her neck and hold her tenderly,
but then she
went and left me way too soon.
The images
flashed through my mind of just a year before,
it broke my
heart to lay her in the ground,
we had three
happy years but there would never be no more,
I hung my
head and howled just like a hound.
The song
upon the jukebox ended, everything was still,
that
bar-room was as quiet as a mouse,
the barman
looked at me and said: "Ole Buddy, drink your fill,
and
everything tonight is on the house."
A cowboy
brought a bottle over, stood there by my side,
he said:
"Here's to your grief, I see it's bad,"
I blinked
through tears "One year ago today, my Dolly died -
the best
dang horse a cowboy ever had!"
