Sweet Marie

I have been working all through the night.
But my pockets are empty. How can things be right?
But when you are so close how can things be so wrong?
Sweet Marie won’t you sing me your song?

My soul is on empty, my cupboards are bare.
But I feel like a rich man whenever you’re there.
But I’m a ship that is lost out at sea when you’re gone.
Sweet Marie won’t you sing me your song.

Sweet Marie I been thinkin’ that we should be wed
But if you turned me down, why I’d rather be dead.
But if you would say yes I would love you so long.
Sweet Marie won’t you sing me your song.
Sweet Marie won’t you sing me your song.
Sweet Marie won’t you sing me your song.
