CShe road a slow train to the city she was Fyoung and she was pretty
CA full grown mountain woman that had blossomed in the G7spring
She took a Cjob at waiting tables at the FHouse of Seven Gables
CThat's where she met G7the man from Bowling CGreen
G7He was somewhat older with Chair down on his shoulders
And he Fknew how to touch a Clady and he must have touched her G7dreams
Sung her Fsongs and called her baby Ctill that country girl went Fcrazy
For that Cguitar picking G7man from Bowling CGreen
Well he got what he was after and Fafter that he left her
CHe packed up his guitar caught a westbound G7train
It was Cjust another city where the Fcountry girls were pretty
CEasy picking for the G7man from Bowling CGreen
Well he got what he was after and Fafter that he left her
CHe packed up his guitar caught a westbound G7train
It was Cjust another city where the Fcountry girls were pretty
CEasy picking for the G7man from Bowling CGreen
G7Now her life is twisted like some CWest Virginia back-road
And the FHouse of Seven CGables has got a brand new G7queen
To anyFone that is buying she’ll Cdrink to keep from Fcrying
For that Cguitar picking G7man from Bowling CGreen
FYes she Cloved that guitar G7man from Bowling CGreen
