Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

William Smith Monroe (; September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass".The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. He described the genre as "Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound." more »

Along about round-up time 
In Texas way out West 
I lost a friend and a pal, boys 
I laid him down to rest 

I weeped and moaned over his grave 
And to me boys it was sad 
'Cause I knew down beneath that mound 
Lay the best pal I ever had 

Oh de lady a, de oh lady oh, de ladie
My best pal was my old paint horse 
And now he's gone to rest 
I laid him down beneath that mound 

In Texas away out West 
Where the cactus blooms over his grave 
And the coyotes cry 
I know he sleeps in perfect peace 

Beneath the Texas sky 
Dear old pal it breaks my heart 
To leave you here alone 
Now I'll go and ride the range 

On the Texas roan 
But my love for you, old pal 
It shall linger on 
I will always think of you 

Although you're dead and gone
