I remember the thirtyfive sweet goodbyes   
C                        G                         C
 When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale 
G              Gsus4    
 It was still September
G                                     Em
 When your daddy was quite surprised  
C                      G       D            G          
 To find you with the working girls in the county jail
  C                                       D
I was smoking with the boys upstairs when I
                G     D             G  Em
Heard about the whole affair I said oh no
G       Em             C 
William and Mary won't do


[Chorus]
       D                 Am7 
Well I did not think the girl
Bm7         E7    Em7
Could be so cruel   
        D           Am7 
And I'm never going back
Bm7       G       
To my old  school

[Verse]
G7        C G                   Em   G
Oleanders  growing outside her door 
C                    G     D           G        
 Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale
G7 G C G
    
        G        
I can't stand her
G                        
Doing what she did before
C               G                          
 Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale


[Chorus]
C                                            D    
 Well I hear the whistle but I can't go I'm gonna
                                 G  Em
Take her down to Mexico she said oh no
G           Em G     C 
Guadalajara   won't do
       D                 Am7 
Well I did not think the girl
            Em   
Could be so cruel
Em7         D           Am7 
   And I'm never going back
Bm7       G     
To my old school

California  tumbles into the sea
C                G                          C
 That'll be the day I go back to Annandale 
G          C       
 Tried to warn you
G                        
About Chino and Daddy Gee
C                     D   G  D           G          
 But I can't seem to get to you through the US Mail
