Sweet Marie
Music & Lyrics by R. Palomo, Jr.Free MP3 Download
Genre: Country rock
Instruments: Acoustic guitar, slide guitar
drum synth, bass
Johnny was a traveling music man
From up Indiana way
Marie was a wild child from back in the bayou
Come to the city to stay
They met by chance at a party
In the heart of old New Orleans
Sparks did fly when he caught her eye
If you know what I mean
CHORUS:
Sweet Marie I love you
Can't you see how I burn inside
From the fire that flies from your deep dark Cajun eyes
No man can hide
There ain't no way that I can say
What it is you do to me
All I can say
Et ça c'est vrais
Je t'aime pour toute la vie
My sweet Marie
Well they stole away every chance they got
To a secret little backstreet place
Where they cook up the finest Jambalaya
Known to the human race
And then they'd go dance
And make romance
In the cellars where the bluesmen play
Johnny took her home and they'd make love
In the dawning of the day
REPEAT CHORUS
Well you could have figured out right from the start
It was just too good to last
Nothing can put no roots down
When it's moving quite that fast
Johnny spent fifteen years on the road
Always looking for the perfect band
Marie spent fifteen years in New Orleans
Looking for another man
(To tell her -)
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG:
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh-ee
My sweet Marie
