MARIE, MARIE
WRITTEN BY: DAVE ALVIN

Marie Marie, playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, why do 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, why do 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

why do you sing so sad Marie Marie?
why do you sing so sad Marie Marie?
why do you sing so sad Marie Marie?
why do you sing so sad Marie Marie?
