Allegheny

How she got that junk car running guess I'll never know

It never ran but once and set to winters in the snow

Well imagine running out on me when I lay sound asleep Allegheny

Well my big mistake was thinking she was something I could keep

She stole my winter's food supply and something else I fear

My saving's in the mattress have strangely disappeared

Now those who know me best knows he who robs me best beware Allegheny

I'm going to call up the dogs and hunt

You down drag you back here by the hair

Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dis-satisfied

Well could it be because I've been your mail-order bride

There's a half of you that's French

Yeah and I need to crave a better style

And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny

She's got a head start on me as a crow flies half a day

And unless I miss my guess she'll stop to rest in Monterey

But if I take the Knoxville Highway

Thirteen hours it will be Allegheny

Well she forgot I knew the shortcut I'll be there in less than three

Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dis-satisfied

Well could it be because I've been your mail-order bride

There's a half of you that's French

Yeah and I need to crave a better style

And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny

I signaled for my dogs to wait outside the hotel door

I described her to the desk clerk he said try the second floor

And then he mentioned she's got company

And that marks the stranger's doom Allegheny

I wish I was her so I could see my face when I bust into the room

Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dis-satisfied

Well could it be because I've been your mail-order bride

There's a half of you that's French

Yeah and I need to crave a better style

And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny

Oh Allegheny something tells me

Allegheny Allegheny come back here Allegheny Allegheny
