That's where her daddy came from by the way

So I might find her there along the way

Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
C majorC D MajorD
And I told her she should be a movie star

The next time I saw her was Tucumcari

She served my bowl of chili with a smile

I said it's been a year since I last saw you
C majorC D MajorD
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
C majorC G+G
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy

I held her in my arms the whole night long
C majorC G+G
I whispered words like settle down and family
D MajorD G+G
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
