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
