Johnny Cash - Calilou: chords

          G                          D
Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana
                              G
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way
                                C
That started out wayout in California
        D
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day
   G                              D
I covered all the beaches on the west coast
                         G
From Mexico Crason City Bay
                            C
But Calilou was not in California
         D
That's where her daddy came from by the way

     C                           G
And by the way her mother was a cajun
     C                                    G
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say
               C                            G
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama
   D                                 G
So I might find her there along the way

Chorus:
     C       G
Calilou Calilou well they
should have call you restless
            D
Well they should have called you drifter
             C
Yeah, they should have called you
  G         D           G
trouble instead of Calilou

I recall the first time that I saw her
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
Just another beauty seeking fame and fortune
And I told her if she should be a movie star
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
I held her in my arms a whole night long
I whispered words like settle down and family
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone

Chorus - x2
