When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning
How I like 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
Is this the way to Amarillo
Every night I'm huggin my pillow
Dreming 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 x3

And Marie who waits for me
Thers a church bell ringing
With a song of joy that is singing
For the sweet Marie
And the guy that coming to see her
Just beyond the highway
There's an open plane that it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
