Marie-marie, playin' guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car
Oh, while she sings so sad, marie-marie
Marie-marie, it's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights down town, 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 cornfield
The evening is dark
And you sing so sad marie-marie
Marie-marie, i 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, playin' guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
Oh, while you sing so sad, marie-marie
