Lyrics
- 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
- 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
