Sha la la lala lala la. Sha la la lala lala la
Sha la la lala lala la
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 hat
ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lala la. Sha la la lala lala la
Sha la la lala lala la, and Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing. Hear the song of joy that it's singing
for the sweet Maria and the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway there's an open plain
and it keeps me going throught the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lala la. Sha la la lala lala la
Sha la la lala lala la, and Marie who waits for me
