Sweet Marie

I know a girl with pretty brown eyes
Sharp and cut you deep like a porcupine
Called in Tuesday, told em that I was sick
Sick in the heart for the girl that I wanna be with
I'm filled with sorrow, but sorrow don't work
As a word to describe the pain of me missing her

Lord I know it'll be two days
Before I see em freckles face to face
Oh Sweet Marie my Sweet Marie
Say bye to Cali say hi to me
Say bye to Cali say hi to me

I'll build a castle up in them hills
Where I can show her truly that I love her still
And ask her why it took her so long
And forced this lonely boy to write a song
And feed myself, 'cause em dishes don't last
Two times around before they call her back

Lord I know it'll be two days
Before I see em freckles face to face
Oh Sweet Marie my Sweet Marie
Say bye to Cali say hi to me
Say bye to Cali say hi to me

Don't trust frontier, but it's what I got
Take her home to her destination spot
And hold her tight, just the way she likes
Take her home to the dawn of the morning light

Lord I know it'll be two days
Before I see em freckles face to face
Oh Sweet Marie oh Sweet Marie
Say bye to Cali say hi to me
Say bye to Cali say hi to me
Say bye to Cali say hi to me
