D                  G          D 
Where have all the good girls gone?
D              A       A7
Was there ever one?
          D
They will win you with their eyes,
     G                 D
Then trap you in their thighs
               A     D          Bm  
Stay away from love, stay away, boys

As the lights of home draw near
D                         A       A7
There’s a black cat at my door
       D
And he spoke to me
     G              D
In a manner low and mean
                          A               D     Bm
She ain’t here, she ain’t here, she ain’t here, oh no
    D         A         D       Bm
Far away, far away, far away
    D         A         D      
Far away, far away, far away

Mother and my sisters three

Forgive these words I speak
             D
For all them pretty, pretty girls
           G              D
With their lips and their curls
               A          D        Bm
Have robbed my pride from me, dear mom
    D         A         D       Bm

Stay away from love, stay away, boys
    D         A         D       Bm
Far away, far away, far away
