verse 1 I had a yellow dog, when I was but a lad She had a white spot on her back and a tail she loved to wag How I loved that girl, when we'd run and play Till the Northern Highway came along and took my girl away When I grew up to be a man, a young girl caught my eye She had the kind of beauty, to make a strong man cry and though I'd only see her every now and then Just long enough to ask myself, will I see her again Chorus the girls we love, they come and go, sometimes without a plan Then I'm left to ask myself will I see her again Will I see her again,I'm left to ask Will I see her again, before my days are past and I'll shed a tear when I think about her every now and then Just long enough to ask myself, will I see her again verse 2 Leah was a beauty who led a troubled life Not before becoming a loving mother and a wife There is no accounting between a woman and a man Think it might have been a little bit more than she was made to stand I learned to count my blessings, when a daughter came my way I watched her grow and blossom each passing day Now you know its only natural, one day she'll find a man then I'll be left to ask myself, will I see her again You see I've been around the block, I've lived a ife and some I've learned to think about these things when my day is done I may shed a tear in thought every now and then As I'm left to ask myself will I see her again Chorus for the girls we love, they come and go, sometimes without a plan Then I'm left to ask myself will I see her again Will I see her again,I'm left to ask Will I see her again, before my days are past and I'll shed a tear when I think about her every now and then Just long enough to ask myself, will I see her again Just long enough to ask myself, will I see her again
