Allegheny

verse 1 How she got that junk car runnin’ God I’ll never know It never ran but once and set to winters in the snow Well imagine runnin’ out on me has I lay sound asleep Allegheny My big mistake was thinkin’ you we’re something I could keep You stole my winter’s food supply and something else I fear My savin’s in the mattress have strangely disappeared Now those who know me best knows he who robs me best beware Allegheny I’m gonna call up the dogs and hunt you down drag you back here by the hair Oh Allegheny something tells me you’re dissatisfied Well is it a fact you we’re my mail-order bride There’s a half of you that’s French yeah and you crave a better style And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I’ve gone wild Allegheny verse 2 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 If I take the Knoxville Highway thirteen hours it will be Allegheny I forgot I knew the shortcut I’ll be there in less than three I signaled for the dogs to wait outside the hotel door I described her to the desk clerk he said try the second floor But he mentioned she’s got company And that marks the stranget’s doom Allegheny I wish I was you so I could see my face when I bust into the room Oh Allegheny something tells me you’re dissatisfied Well is it a fact you we’re my mail-order bride There’s a half of you that’s French yeah and you crave a better style And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I’ve gone wild Allegheny Allegheny Allegheny come back here Allegheny Allegheny
