Sha la lala lalala

                 
Sha la lala lalala

                 
Sha la lala lalala

                                
When the day is dawning on a Texas Sunday morning

             
How i long to be there 

                  
With Marie who`s waiting for me there

                               
Every lonely city where i hang my hat

                     
Aint as half as pretty as where my baby`s at

                          
Is this the way to Amarillo

                                      
Every night i`ve been hugging my pillow

                                            
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

                         
Show me the way to Amarillo 

                              
I`ve been weeping like a willow

                                     
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

                     
Sha la la lala lalala
                     
Sha la la lala lalala
                                 
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me


                     
There`s a church bell ringing

                      
Here the song of joy thats it`s singing

                                   
For the sweet Maria and the guy who`s coming to see her

                                     
Just beyond the highway there`s an open plain

                    
and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

                          
Is this the way to Amarillo

                                      
Every night i`ve been hugging my pillow

                                            
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

                         
Show me the way to Amarillo 

                              
I`ve been weeping like a willow

                                     
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

                     
Sha la la lala lalala
                     
Sha la la lala lalala
                            
Sha la la lala lala  and Marie who waits for me


                   
Sha la la lala lalala
                   
Sha la la lala lalala
                            
Sha la la lala lala  and Marie who waits for me

                  
Sha la la la lalala

            Fsharp
Sha la la la lalala
