Lyrics:

Every time I go away my baby feels so blue
She misses me so much she don't know what to do
I know that she loves me she tells me all alone
No one can take my place she never do me wrong
My pal is a wonderful fellow and just as a favorite to me
He keeps her company she'll never lonely be
There never was a friend or a buddy such as he
[ steel - guitar ]
My pal is a wonderful fellow I'd like to see he's happy just like me
I hope that someday he'll settle down for life
I hope that my pal finds a wonderful wife
