marie-marie, playin' guitar on the back porch
i sit in my car
oh, while she sings so sad, marie-marie
marie-marie, it's so lonely in these farmlands
please come with me
to the bright lights down town, marie-marie
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 cornfield
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
i said, hey pretty girl, don't you understand
i just want to be your lovin' man
marie-marie, playin' guitar on the back porch
i leave in my car
oh, while you sing so sad, marie-marie |
