Allegheny
Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer
Johnny Cash:
How she got that junk car running
Guess I’ll never know
It never ran but once
And set two winters in the snow
Well, imagine running out on me
When I lay sound asleep
Allegheny
Well, my big mistake was thinking
She was something I could keep
She stole my winter’s food supply
And something else I fear
My savings in the mattress
Have strangely disappeared
Now those who know me best
Knows he who robs be best beware
Allegheny
I’m going to call up the dogs
And hunt you down
Drag you back here by the hair
Johnny: Oh, Allegheny, something tells me you’re dissatisfied
June Carter: Well, could it be because I’ve been your mail-order bride
Johnny: There’s a half of you that’s French
June: Yeah, and I need to crave a better style
Johnny: And a half of you is Cherokee
June: Yeah, and I’ve gone wild
Johnny: Allegheny
Johnny:
She’s got a head start on me
As a crow flies half a day
And unless I miss my guess
She’ll stop in Monterey
Allegheny
But If I take the Knoxville highway
13 hours it will be
Well, she forgot I knew the shortcut
I’ll be there in less than 3
Johnny: Oh, Allegheny, something tells me you’re dissatisfied
June: Well, could it be because I’ve been your mail-order bride
Johnny: There’s a half of you that’s French
June: Yeah, and I need to crave a better style
Johnny: And a half of you is Cherokee
June: Yeah, and I’ve gone wild
Johnny: Allegheny
Johnny:
I signaled for my dogs to wait outside the hotel door
I described her to the desk clerk
He said try the second floor
And then he mentioned she’s got company
And that marks the stranger’s doom
Allegheny
I wish I was her
So that I could see my face when I bust into the room
Johnny: Oh, Allegheny, something tells me you’re dissatisfied
June: Well, could it be because I’ve been your mail-order bride
Johnny: There’s a half of you that’s French
June: Yeah, and I need to crave a better style
Johnny: And a half of you is Cherokee
June: Yeah, and I’ve gone wild
Johnny: Alleghenny, Allegheny, Alleghenny

I remember a version of this sung by Bonnie Guitar c. 1973.
