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

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
Allegheny Allegheny come back
Here Allegheny Allegheny
