Parte 1
A very old friend came by today
'Cos he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Parte 2
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Refrão
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Parte 3
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Repete Refrão
Repete Parte 3
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
