^Bb My baby never was a cheatin' kind
But It w ^F7 asn't cause the ladies didn't try
Now ev'ry where we go, they're walkin' 'round him slow,
G ^Bb ivin' him a flutter and a sigh
^Bb Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
L ^Bb7 ord, ^Eb I walked all over that blackeyed cajun queen.
B ^F7 ut outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you
I lo ^Bb st him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
^Eb Oh, A ^Bb marillo what'd you want my baby for
^Eb Oh, A ^C7 marillo now h ^F7 e won't come home no more.
^Eb You ^Bb done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
^F7 Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
W ^Bb hile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
Solo
^Bb If you only hadn't stopped in ?????
If someone hadn't played the window up ^F7 above
Oh, he'd still be mine today,
But he heard those fiddles play,
One look and then I knew this must be ^Bb love.
^Bb Oh, that pinball machines in the corner,
But he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ^Eb ring.
And he ^F7 never was the same after he won his first free game,
^F oh, I lost him to the jukebox and a pinball ^Bb machine.
^Eb Oh, A ^Bb marillo what'd you want my baby for
^Eb Oh, A ^C7 marillo now h ^F7 e won't come home no more.
^Eb You ^Bb done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
^F7 Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
W ^Bb hile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
^Eb Oh, A ^Bb marillo what'd you want my baby for
^Eb Oh, A ^C7 marillo now h ^F7 e won't come home no more.
^Eb You ^Bb done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
^F7 Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
W ^Bb hile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
