[G] I remember the thirty-five sweet good[Em]byes
[C] When you put me on the [D] Wolverine up to [G] Annandale [G] [C] [G]
[G] It was still September when your daddy was quite sur[Em]prised
To [C] find you with the [D] working girls in the [C] county jail [G] [C] [G]
{c: }
I was [C] smoking with the boys upstairs
When I [D] heard about the whole affair
I said, "[Em] Oh no - [G] William and [Em] Mary won't [C] do "
{c: }
Well I [D] did not think the [C] girl could [D] be so [Em] cruel
And I'm [D] never going back to my old [G] school
{c: }
[G] Oleanders growing outside her [Em] door
[C] Soon they're gonna [D] be in bloom up in [G] Annandale [G] [C] [G]
[G] I can't stand her doing what she did [Em] before
[C] Living like a [D] Gypsy queen in a [G] fairy tale
{c: }
Well I [C] hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm [D] gonna take her down to Mexico
She said, "[G] Oh [Em] no [G] Guadala[Em]jara [D] won't [C] do"
{c: }
Well I [D] did not think the [Am] girl could [D] be so [Em] cruel

[G] California tumbles into the [Em] sea
[C] That'll be the [D] day I go back to [G] Annandale [G] [C] [G]
[G] Tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy [Em] Gee
[C] But I can't seem to [D] get to you through the [G] U.S. Mail
{c: }
Well I [C] hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm [D] gonna take her down to Mexico
She said, "[G] Oh [Em] no [G] Guadala[Em]jara [D] won't [C] do"
{c: }
Well I [D] did not think the [Am] girl could [D] be so [Em] cruel
And I'm [D] never going [Am] back to my old [G] school
