G
How she got that junk car runnin' guess I'll never know
C G
It never ran but once and set two winters in the snow
C G
Well imagine runnin' out on me as I lay sound asleep Allegheny
Eb D
My big mistake was thinkin' she was something I could keep
C G
You stole my winter's food supply and something else I fear
C G
My savin's in the mattress have strangely disappeared
C G
Now those who know me best knows he who robs me best beware Allegheny
Eb D
I'm gonna call up the dogs and hunt you down drag you back here by the hair
[Chorus]
C
Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dissatisfied
G
Well could be because I've been your mail-order bride
C
There's a half of you that's French yeah and I can crave a better style
G
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny
[Verse 2]
Eb D
She's got a head start on me as a crow flies half a day
C G
And unless I miss my guess she'll stop to rest in Monterey
C G
But if I take the Knoxville Highway thirteen hours it will be Allegheny
Eb D
Well she forgot I knew the shortcut I'll be there in less than three
[Chorus]
C
Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dissatisfied
G
Well could be because I've been your mail-order bride
C
There's a half of you that's French yeah and I can crave a better style
G
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny
[Verse 3]
C G
I signaled for the dogs to wait outside the hotel door
C G
I described her to the desk clerk he said try the second floor
But he mentioned she's got company
C G
And that marks the stranger's doom Allegheny
Eb D
I wish I was her so I could see my face when I bust into the room
[Chorus]
C
Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dissatisfied
G
Well could be because I've been your mail-order bride
C
There's a half of you that's French yeah and I can crave a better style
G
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny
