Marie Marie, Playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car, While she sings so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie, It's so lonely in these farmlands
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 corn fields,
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

Playing guitar on the back porch, I leave in my car,
While you sing so sad
Marie Marie
