Marie, Marie, playing guitar on the back porch.
I sit in my car why do you sing so sad,
Marie, Marie?
Marie Marie, it's so lonely in the parklands.
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.
(INTERLUDE)
Marie, Marie, it's so lonely in the parklands.
Please come with me, to the bright lights downtown,
Marie, Marie.
Marie, Marie, I got two weeks in back pay.
There's gas in my car, and your folks say I must go.
