Marie Marie, playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, while you sing so sad Marie Marie

Marie Marie, It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me, to the bright lights downtown 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 cornfields
The evening is dark, and you sing so sad Marie Marie

Marie Marie, It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me, to the bright lights downtown 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, playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, while 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

While you sing so sad Marie Marie
While you sing so sad Marie Marie
While you sing so sad Marie Marie
While you sing so sad Marie Marie
While you sing so sad Marie Marie ...
