A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone
in town About the love
that he just found
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
He talked and talked
and I heard him say
That she had
the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green
eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears
inside were a-burning
I wished him luck
and then he said goodbye
He was gone but stil
his words kept returning
What else was there
for me to do but cry
Would you believe
that yesterday
This girl was in my arms
and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears
inside were a-burning
I wished him luck
and then he said goodbye
He was gone but stil
his words kept returning
What else was there
for me to do but cry
Would you believe
that yesterday
This girl was in my arms
and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
And Marie's the name
of his latest flame
And Marie's the name
