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 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 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 leave in my car While you sing so sad Marie marie
