Marie, Marie, playing guitar
On the back porch
I sit in my car while she sings
So sad, Marie, MarieMarie, Marie, it's so lonely
In these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights downtown, Marie, MarieI said, Hey pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to
Be your loving man?Marie, Marie, the sun is down
In the corn fields the evening is dark
And you sing so sad, Marie, Marie
Watch me, boys, watch meMarie Marie, I got two weeks of pay
And there's gas in my car
And your folks say I must go, Marie, MarieI said, hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
Well, I just want to
Be your loving man?Marie Marie, playing guitar
On the back porch, I leave in my car
While you sing such a sad song, Marie, Marie
Watch me, boys, watch me, now
