Lyrics

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
I said, hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand?
I just want to be your loving 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
I said, hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand?
I just want to be your loving man
Marie, Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
While you sing so sad
Marie, Marie
