[Verse 1]
G I remember the thirty-five sweet good Embyes
C When you put me on the DWolverine
Up to An Gnandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite sur Emprised
C To find you with the Dworking girls
In the coun Gty jail
I was C smoking with the boys upstairs
When I D heard about the whole affair
[Chorus 1]
I said Goh Emno
GWilliam and EmMary won't Cdo
Well I Ddid not think the Am7girl
Could be Bm7so Emcruel
And I'm Dnever going Am7back
To my Bm7old

[Verse 2]
G Oleanders growing outside her Emdoor
C Soon they're gonna Dbe in bloom
Up in An Gnan dale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did be Emfore
C Living like a gyp Dsy queen
In a fair Gy tale
[Chorus 2]
Well I C hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna D take her down to Mexico
She said Goh Emno
GGuadala Emjara won't Cdo
Well I Ddid not think the Am7girl
Could be Bm7so Emcruel
And I'm Dnever going Am7back
To my Bm7old

[Verse 3]
G California tumbles into the Emsea
C That'll be the Dday I go
Back to An Gnandale
G Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy EmGee
C But I can't seem to Dget to you
Through the GU.S. Mail
Well I C hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna D take her down to Mexico
She said Goh Emno

Well I Ddid not think the Am7girl
