Marie Marie

Playing guitar on the back porch
           
I sit in my car
                 
While she sings so sad
        
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights downtown
Marie Marie

        chorus:
                
        I said, "Hey, pretty girl
        
        Don't you understand
        
        I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
The sun is down in the corn fields
The evening is dark
And you sing so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
I got two weeks in back pay
There's gas in my car
And your folks say I must go
Marie Marie

        (repeat chorus)

Marie Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
While you sing so sad
Marie Marie
