| I used to know ths girl Marie
|
| And so the story goes, she never really talked to me Her house was seven blocks away
|
| On my way to school, I went to see if she’s okay
|
| Tell me, where have you gone?
|
| Where have you gone, Marie?
|
| Why did you leave?
|
| Come back to me, cherie
|
| I know you went away
|
| You went away, Marie
|
| You could not stay
|
| You could not stay, cherie
|
| Please stay with me, Marie, cherie
|
| Oh no, he did not treat you right
|
| Your innocence is lost
|
| You never had the chance to fly
|
| She looked so pretty like a dream
|
| Her skin’s like velvet cream
|
| She never made her sweet sixteen
|
| Nobody came around to see her
|
| It was as if she wasn’t there
|
| A lone butterfly that’s caught in amber
|
| Always your daddy’s little girl
|
| Tell me, where have you gone?
|
| Where have you gone, Marie?
|
| Why did you leave?
|
| Come back to me, cherie
|
| I know you went away
|
| You went away, Marie
|
| You could not stay
|
| You could not stay, cherie
|
| Please stay with me, Marie, cherie |
