Marie Marie 
Playing guitar on the back porch 
I sit in my car 
While she sings 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 lovin' man" 

Marie Marie 
The sun is down in the corn fields 
The evening is dark 
And you sing 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 lovin' man" 

Marie Marie 
Playing guitar on the back porch 
I leave in my car 
While you sing so sad 
Marie Marie
