C            D        G
She hopped aboard and sat behind me, as I turned that mule around
                                       C              G
In my ear I heard a whisper, how'd her heart, a howdy-ho
                                             C        D         G
I let her out at the next corner, my Annabelle from Cedar Shoals


[Chorus]
             C                    G                           D
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
      G                              C         D      G
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevard


[Verse 2]
G                                            C                G
When I got home, she was a-waitin, she had a letter in her hand
                                              C          D    G
She looked at me with eyes of fire, my lovely wife Kylie Ann
                                     C                G
Come I did saw her swagger, just as soon as I laid down
                                       C        D       G
She picked up a silver dagger and she headed off to town


[Chorus]
             C                    G                           D
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
      G                              C         D      G
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevard

[Verse 3]
G                                      C               G
I picked up the Southern Banner, as I read I nearly fell
                                                C             D    G
They found a girl in New York County, there was another in the jail
                                    C                   G
Gentle rain slowly falling, trolley wheels were muddy red
                                                C       D       G
I thought I heard a voice a-callin, because of me a girl is dead.


[Outro]
             C                    G                           D
The price I pay, to have two lovers, now I know I've gone too far
      G                              C         D      G
And I feel so sad and lonely, riding down the boulevardd
       C          D      G
riding down the boulevard
       C          D      G
riding down the boulevard
