She broad the slow train to the city she was young and she was pretty
A full grown up woman that it blossomed in the spring
She took a job waitin' tables at the House of Seven Gables
That's where she met this man from Bowling Green

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

Now her mind has twisted like some West Virginia backroad
And the House of Seven Gables has got a brand new queen
Oh Lord she keeps on trying to keep on satisfying
That guitar pickin' man from Bowling Green

Well he got what he was after and after that he left her
Packed up his old guitar caught the westboud train
It was just another city where country girls were pretty
Easy pickin' for the man from Bowling Green

Now her mind has twisted like some West Virginia backroad
And the House of Seven Gables has got a brand new queen
And knew any man that's buying she'll treat to keep from crying
For that guitar pickin' man from Bowling Green
Oh she'll love that guitar pickin' man from Bowling Green
