A very old friend came by today
Because 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 his latest flame
