Lyrics

As a younger man I moved up to Alaska To bring that all down from Prudhoe Bay Made so much money, I could've bought Nebraska Instead, I've whiskey, the other half on women The other half well, I just blew away Well, it's gone but not forgotten I've she some tears but I've no regrets Well, I think about that money often Lord, it might be gone but not forgotten yet Had a shrimple by the name of Poliana Spent more time on the sea than on the shore 'Til the storm blew me up on the coast of Louisiana When it rain and thunder, capsized and went under There is no Poliana anymore Well, it's gone but not forgotten I've shed some tears but I've no regrets I think about ol' Poliana often Lord, she might be gone but not forgotten yet INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Lord, the lovely señorita from El Casso Had to lasso her and she was quite a catch Well, I showered her with hugs and kisses, still she ran away So I'm bring her from her walking and all that women talking Was never to count my chicken before they hatch Well, she is gone but not forgotten I've shed some tears but I've no regrets Well, I think about that woman often Lord, she may be gone but not forgotten yet Well, she is gone but not forgotten I've shed some tears but I've no regrets Well, I think about that woman often Lord, she may be gone but not forgotten yet Lord, she may be gone but not forgotten yet
