Lyrics

My Sweet Marie

(verse 1)
I?m on my way down to Sweet Marie.
She never treats me bad or wrong,
But she?s always talking straight to me.
When I?m in trouble she knows it all along.

Life ain?t so easy but what the hell,
The stars ain?t fallin? down on me.
The ferry master calls again and rings his bell.
Farewell ol? town and hello My Sweet Marie!

(Chorus)
I?m fleeing to the other side,
And leaving my native land.
I may have lost my precious pride,
And made a young fool?s stand,
But it takes a woman like Marie,
To get through to the man in me.
Yeah, I?m coming to the other side,
To meet My Sweet Marie

(Verse 2
There are much worse ways of gettin? there,
And you never won?t hear me complain.
They call me a loser, but I don?t care.
With my Marie life starts all over again!

When the clouds turn black once more,
And the world turns its back on me,
I?ll be tough ?n strong as never before,
?Cause my faith lies in the arms of My Sweet Marie!

(Repeat Chorus)

(Fade)
Yeah, I?m fleeing to the other side,
To meet my Sweet Marie!
