I left my heart in Allegheny when I was seventeen
And I left there the greatest beauty that you've ever seen
And when I wake at night cause I've been startled from my dream
Of returning back to Allegheny to find my long lost queen

One day I got sick and tired of the days that just dragged by
And I looked out my window, and I see my horse on high
I turn back to my family, and to them I wave goodbye
Well, I'm bound back for Allegheny to see my love, and there I'll die

After four long days on the road, you see I've came upon a sign
Welcome to Allegheny, I see, but all is not fine
The hills are bare and the streets are scorned, there's not a soul in sight
And that's when I wonder if I'll be making it through the night
The high creek of the gate was really all it took
What once was a sheriff, you see, he stepped out on the brook
His face disfigured, his left arm gone, and his ribs were showing bone
But I was so determined, I can't go back alone

I draw my iron from my hip, my foe he does the same
Two mighty blasts ring out, a bullet through his brain
I close my eyes, I hold my breath, and I wait to feel some pain
But then I thank my lucky stars, you see, I've come away unscathed
I collect myself, I whip my horse, and then right off I go
I look upon the hill, I see a cloud of dust, and before I know there's
three riders upon their steeds, they've got my beauty in tow
There's only a few ways that I know this thing can go

We rode on towards each other, our hooves beating the floor
You see our pistols flaring, our eyes were glaring, then came the blood and gore
One miss shot and one wrong move, and I'm knocking on hell's door
My deadly eye and my steady hand, and the riders were no more

I dismount from my steed and I go and untie her wrists
I look into the eyes of my queen that I've sorely missed
We embrace but past her shoulder, detonation like no other
It's here that I will die in the arms of my lover

But goddammit
I'm with my heart in Allegheny, but I'm not seventeen
I'm with the greatest beauty here that you have ever seen
You see, I won't awake tonight, and when I'm startled from my dream
I'm returning back to Allegheny to find my long lost queen
