Somehow it didn't occur to me that someone would want to do this
independently of the Bix instrumental version. The source: Anderson.

Since  My  Best  Gal  Turned  Me  Down
Verse:
1. |Gone are the   days when I was   hap-/py./   ////
|Gone are the days when I   glad.///   ////
|My lovin'   baby went and   left/ me/   /// and
Since then I've been   feelin' mighty   sad.///   ///|

2. |I never   knew that she was   fool-/in'/   ////
|She made me   think she loved me   true.///   ////
|Just live and   learn the wise men   tell/ us,/   ///but
All I've learned is   how to feel so   blue.///   ///|

Chorus:
|I never   knew my gal would   do me that way.   ////
|I never   thought she would   leave me some day.   ////
|But now there's   nothin' I can   do or can say.   /I'm all a-
Lone,///   /I might have   known///   it.///
------------------------------
|I thought she   loved me like a   sweet mama should   ////
|She got am-   bitious and she   left me for good   ////
|I'm just as   lost as any   babes in the wood.   // Since me
Best/ gal/   turned me//   down.///    /|||
