Allegheny

G
How she got that junk car runnin' 
guess I'll never know
     C                           
It never ran but once and set two 
                G
winters in the snow
                      C            
Well imagine runnin' out on me as I
                          G
 lay sound asleep Allegheny
Eb                                
My big mistake was thinkin' she 
                       D
was something I could keep
      C                          
You stole my winter's food supply 
                        G
and something else I fear
     C                         
My savin's in the mattress have 
                G
strangely disappeared
                       C           
Now those who know me best knows he
                                G
 who robs me best beware Allegheny
Eb                                
I'm gonna call up the dogs and 
hunt you down drag you back here by 
   D
the hair

[Chorus]
     C
Oh Allegheny something tells me 
you're dissatisfied
Well could be because I've been your
              G
 mail-order bride
There's a half of you that's French 
                 C
yeah and I can crave a better style

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

[Verse 2]
Eb                                
She's got a head start on me as a 
                    D
crow flies half a day
      C                          
And unless I miss my guess she'll 
                    G
stop to rest in Monterey
                              C    
But if I take the Knoxville Highway
                                  G
 thirteen hours it will be Allegheny
Eb                                
Well she forgot I knew the 
                                D
shortcut I'll be there in less than 
three

[Chorus]
     C
Oh Allegheny something tells me 
you're dissatisfied
Well could be because I've been your
        G
 mail-order bride
There's a half of you that's French 
               C
yeah and I can crave a better style
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah 
                          G
and I've gone wild Allegheny

[Verse 3]
     C                         
I signaled for the dogs to wait 
                     G
outside the hotel door
I described her to the desk clerk he
  C                    G
 said try the second floor

But he mentioned she's got company
                       C           
And that marks the stranger's doom 
      G
Allegheny
Eb                                
I wish I was her so I could see my
                              D
 face when I bust into the room

[Chorus]
     C
Oh Allegheny something tells me 
you're dissatisfied
Well could be because I've been your
              G
 mail-order bride
There's a half of you that's French 
                 C
yeah and I can crave a better style
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah 
                          G
and I've gone wild Allegheny
