I wish I had my old gal back again

Al Jolson

Compositor: Jürgen Reil / Lew Pollack / Milton Ager

We all have pals,
We all have gals
From whom we drift with the years.
Some we forget,
Some we regret,
After it's too late for tears.
From the best pal I had
I strayed away
And how I regret it today.

I wish I had my old gal back again
I miss her more than ever now.
Tho' we drifted apart,
There's a place in my heart
Just for her and for no other,
Right next to my mother.
Gee! How diff'rent my life might have been.
I've lived and learned a lot since then.
There never was a pal like my old gal.
I wish I had her back again.

I wish I had my old gal back again
I miss her more than ever now.
Tho' we drifted apart,
There's a place in my heart
Just for her and for no other,
Right next to my mother.
Gee! How diff'rent my life might have been.
I've lived and learned a lot since then.
There never was a pal like my old gal.
I wish I had her back again.
