Lyrics

  1. I’m feeling sad and down-hearted
    Over my old gal
    It’s been a year since we parted
    My old pal
    Time seems to bring many changes
    Time seems to make my heart sad
    The story is old
    Yet somebody stole
    My old gal

Refrain
Somebody must be misleading
My old gal
Somebody must be deceiving
My old pal
Somebody else is calling her dearie
Making me sad, still I hope she’s cheery
Somebody must be misleading
My old gal

  1. I’m sure my heart it is breaking
    Over my old gal
    That’s why my poor heart is aching
    My old pal
    Still I will always be yearning
    Just for the love I once had
    But why should I fret
    I’ll try to forget
    My old gal
