Marie, Marie   Playing guitar on the back porch   I sit in my car   While she seems 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 loving man"      Marie, Marie   The sun is down in the corn fields   The evening is dark   And you seem 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 loving man"      Marie, Marie   Playing guitar on the back porch   I leave in my car   While you seem so sad   Marie, Marie
