[Verse 1]
G                                      Em
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes

C                       D                 G
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale

G                                                      Em    C
It was still September when your daddy was quite surprised

                     D                        G
To find you with the working girls in the county jail
[Pre-Chorus]
       C*
I was smoking with the boys upstairs

        D*
When I heard about the whole affair
[Chorus]
         G5   Em*
I said,  Oh   no

G5          Em*        C
William and Mary won't do

       D                 Em#5
Well I did not think the girl

           Bm7   Em7
Could be   so    cruel

        D           C
And I'm never going back

   Em#5 F#m#5   G
To my   old     school

G                               Em
Oleanders growing outside her door

Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale

I can't stand her doing what she did before

Living like a Gypsy queen in a fairy tale

I'm gonna take her down to Mexico

Guadalajara won't do
