You ain't gonna get me, honey, no way

C
Tearing down the highway

in the pouring rain

Escaping from my wedding day
C
G
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
C
G
The ceremony's nearly underway
C
Telegrams came
G
and the cheap champagne
C
G
Was driving everybody out of their brains
C
But I convinced my best friends
G
I lost my nerve
C
G
And I pleaded I was being framed
Chorus 1
D
"Sailor, show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
D
"Sailor, show me which way to go"
Ow!
Verse 2
C
Such a deadly silence
G
Due to my defiance
C
G
The wedding ground to a halt
C
Said, "I changed my mind
G
Ain't no use in your trying"
C
G
So her brother punched me in the throat
C
Her mother got hysterical
G
The bitch was cynical
C
G
Father's in the corner drunk
C
Picking myself off the floor
G
I ran to the door
C
C
Damned if I was skippin' on my way ha ha
Chorus 2
D
"Sailor, show me which way to go"
You shoulda heard the noise

Said, "Sailor, show me which way to go"

just spend all night sleepin'

when the year runs out, that's right
