Lyrics

How she got that junk car runnin', God, I'll never know
Well 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 that you were something I could keep
You stole my winter's food supply and something else I fear
My savings in the mattress have strangely disappeared
Now those who know me knows that he who robs me best beware, Allegheny
Goin' to call up the dogs and hunt you down, dragging you back here by the hair
Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dissatisfied
Is it the fact because you were my mail-order bride?
Well there's a half of you that's French and I crave a better style
Well there's a half of you that's Cherokee and distinctively just wild, Allegheny
She's got a head start 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
You forgot I knew the shortcut, I'll be there in less than three
Well I signaled for my dogs to wait outside the hotel door
I described her to the desk clerk, he says try the second floor
But he mentions she's got company which marks the stranger’s doom, Allegheny
I wish I was you so I could see my face when I come bustin' in the room
