Lyrics

[00:09.47] I remember the thirty five sweet goodbyes
[00:16.76] When you put me on the Wolverine up in Annandale
[00:24.44] It was still September when your daddy was quite surprised
[00:32.58] To find you with the working girls in the county jail
[00:39.07] I was smoking with the boys upstairs
[00:42.75] When I heard about the whole affair
[00:46.75] I said "Oh no William and Mary won't do"
[00:51.62] Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
[01:01.98] And I'm never going back to my old school
[01:26.88] Oleander growing outside her door
[01:34.26] Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale
[01:42.18] I can't stand her doing what she did before
[01:49.92] Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
[01:56.16] Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
[02:00.03] I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
[02:03.52] She said "Oh no Guadalajara won't do"
[02:11.45] Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
[02:18.93] And I'm never going back to my old school
[03:34.81] California tumbles into the sea
[03:42.47] That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
[03:50.13] Tried to warn her about Chino and Buddy Gee
[03:57.68] But I can't seem to get to you through the US mail
[04:03.92] Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
[04:07.92] I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
[04:11.35] She said "Oh no Guadalajara won't do"
[04:19.15] Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
[04:26.95] And I'm never going back to my old school
