|
| When the day is dawning,
|
| On a Texas Sunday Morning,
|
| How I long to be there,
|
| With Marie who’s waiting for me there,
|
| Every lonely city,
|
| Where I hang my heads,
|
| Aint as half as pretty,
|
| As where my bayby’s a-at,
|
| Is this the way to Ammarrillo?
|
| Every night I’ve been huggin my pillow,
|
| Dreamin dreams of Ammarrillo,
|
| And sweet Marie who waits for me,
|
| Show me the way to Ammarrillo,
|
| I’ve been weeping like a willow,
|
| Cryin over Ammarrillo,
|
| And sweet Marie who waits for me,
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| Sweet Marie who waits for me
|
| There’s a churchbell rining,
|
| Hear the song of joy that its singing,
|
| For the sweet Marie-a,
|
| And the guy who’s coming to see her,
|
| Just beyond the highway,
|
| There’s an open plain,
|
| And it keeps me going,
|
| Through the wind and rain!
|
| Is this the way to Ammarrillo?
|
| Every night I’ve been huggin my pillow,
|
| Dreamin dreams of Ammarrillo,
|
| And sweet Marie who waits for me,
|
| Show me the way to Ammarrillo,
|
| I’ve been weeping like a willow,
|
| Cryin over Ammarrillo,
|
| And sweet Marie who waits for me,
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| Sha — la — la — la — la — la — la — la
|
| And Marie who waits for me |
