Marie, Marie

[Originally by The Blasters]

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
