I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes

When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale

When I heard about the whole affair

William and Mary won't do

Well I did not think the girl

Could be so cruel
D Am7
And I'm never going back
Bm7 G
To my old school

Oleanders growing outside her door

Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale

I can't stand her doing what she did before

Living like a Gypsy queen in a fairy tale

Guadalajara won't do

To my old school

California tumbles into the sea
C D G
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale

Tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy Gee
C D G
But I can't seem to get to you through the U.S.Mail
