Marie Marie - Dave Alvin

Marie Marie

Playing guitar on the back porch

I sit in my car

While she sings so sad

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 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

I said, «Hey, pretty girl Don’t you understand

I just want to be your loving man»

Marie Marie

Marie Marie

Playing guitar on the back porch

I leave in my car

While you sing so sad

Marie Marie
