Marlene, Marlene
When you call my name
Marlene, Marlene
Like the summer rain
Like the honeydew
Dripping all in my brain
Marlene, Marlene
I'm in love with you

You know I never been satisfied
You make the blues running high
I don't know how many times I tried
To have a good girl by my side
Well I can mumble and I can squawk
You got me talking that baby talk
I try to run but I can't even walk
Marlene, Marlene

Marlene, Marlene
If it was up to me
You know you'd ride my train
Back to Tennessee
Chang chang (?)
Oh my ticket is due
Marlene, Marlene
I give it all to you
You know I never been satisfied
You make the blues running high
I don't know how many times I tried
To have a good girl by my side
Well I can mumble and I can squawk
You got me that baby talk
I tried to run but I can't even walk
Marlene, Marlene

Marlene, Marlene
When you call my name
Marlene, Marlene
You're like the summer rain
Like the honeydew
Dripping all in my brain
Marlene, Marlene
I'm in love with you
