BbMy baby never was a cheatin' kind
But It wF7asn't cause the ladies didn't try
Now ev'ry where we go, they're walkin' 'round him slow,
GBbivin' him a flutter and a sigh
BbNow I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
LBb7ord, EbI walked all over that blackeyed cajun queen.
BF7ut outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you
I loBbst him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
EbOh, ABbmarillo what'd you want my baby for
EbOh, AC7marillo now hF7e won't come home no more.
EbYou Bbdone played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,

If someone hadn't played  the window up F7above
Oh, he'd still be mine today,

Oh, he'd still be mine today,

But he heard those fiddles play,

One look and then I knew this must be love.
