Marie, Marie, playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, while you sing so sad Marie, Marie

Marie, Marie, it's so lonely in this parkway
Please come with me to the bright lights downtown 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 cornfields
Evening is dark and you sing so sad Marie, Marie

Marie, Marie, it's so lonely in this parkway
Please come with me to the bright lights downtown Marie, Marie

Marie, Marie, I've 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, playing guitar on the back porch
I'm leaving my car, while she sings so sad Marie, Marie

Marie, Marie, I've got two weeks in back pay
There's gas in my car and your folks say I must go Marie, Marie
While you sing so sad Marie, Marie
While you sing so sad Marie, Marie
While you sing so sad Marie, Marie
While you sing so sad Marie, Marie
