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
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
And Marie's the name of
his latest flame
And Marie's the name of
