The Man From Bowling Green

(álbum: I Still Believe In Fairy Tales - 1975)

She rode a slow train to the city she was young and she was pretty
A full grown mountain woman that had blossomed in the spring
She took a job a waiting tables at the House of Seven Gables
There's where she met the man from Bowling Green

He was somewhat older with hair down on his shoulders
He knew how to touch a lady and he must have touched her dream
He sang her songs and called her baby till that country girl went crazy
For that guitar picking man from Bowling Green

Well he got what he was after and after that he left her
He packed up his guitar and caught a westbound train
This was just another city where the country girls were pretty
Easy picking for the man from Bowling Green

Now my life has twisted like a West Virginia backroad
And the House of Seven Gables has got a brand new queen
And to any man who's buying I'll drink to keep from crying
For that guitar picking man from Bowling Green
I still love that guitar man from Bowling Green
