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 still 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 |
