GHey there all you wild and pretty women where’d you go when the
Cwind’ll blow hard, and the dust will set'll low
Dstorm’s coming in so I guess you better get up and go

Back to the Glonely deserts westward outta Hillster Arizona
Cwhere the girls’ll treat yah friendly sure, but only if you wanna
Dsteal a ride from the riverboat captain tonight
G
[Chorus]
CHey, hey, hey, there Grose
Ddid you think I’d come, all this way in vainG

The Gweather’s getting hotter, but I stop to see the light and I
Cthink I might pull over just to stop here, for the night
DI see yah coming up, and I know she won’t give me a fight
G
[Verse 4]
And so I Gstart to make my move I splash my face up with some water and she
Ctries to pull me off but then it only makes me hotter
Dhey there rose, can you spare some change for the night
G
[Chorus]
CHey, hey, hey, there Grose
Ddid you think I’d come, all this way in vainG  
Cdrive, drive, down
to the Gcenter of a D/F#coal mine Emtown
Cwash your face and, cDhange your frame of minGd
Cand hard, hard, times
you better Gstow away your D/F#nickels and your Emdimes
Cthrow a rope aDround, a big oak trGee
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
I Gsee you in the rear view as I start to drive away while she
Cwipes away the teardrops, I thought I heard her say I
Dthink I’d be shooting you down if you won't be mine
[Verse 5]
So I said Gdarling don’t you worry I’ll be back your way again when the
Csun goes round the mountains and the moon goes round the bend just
Dgive it a while and everything is gonna be alright
G
[Chorus]
And CHey, hey, hey, there Grose
