Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la
When the day is dawning, On a Texas Sunday Morning How I long to be there With Marie who's waiting for me there Every lonely city Where i hang my hat Ain't as half as pretty, As where my baby's at
(Chorus) Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo I've been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing With a song of joy that its singing For the sweet Maria And the guy who's coming to see her Just beyond the highway There's an open plain and it keeps me going Through the wind and rain
(Chorus) Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo I've been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me (sing till fades)
