Well, I walked out onto the sidewalk I began walking around I was looking everywhere I thought she'd be My baby couldn't be found And I passed by the big infirmary And I heard my sweetheart moan Gee, it hurts me to see you here You know you used to be my own I went in to see the doctor Your gal is low, he said I went back to see my baby My God, she landed dead Sixteen cool black horses All hitched up in line In that pretty buggy she's riding Goodbye, old gal of mine And when I die, you can bury me standing In my dubstance in the head Put a twenty dollar book piece on my watch chain And tell the boys I'd outstayed their path Let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She could set this white world all over She'd never find a sweeter man as me Oh, sixteen cool black horses All hitched up in line In that pretty buggy she's riding Goodbye, old gal of mine
