Loading...

engineer: what’s the name of this one bob?
bob: er, where are you tonight sweet marie
engineer: rolling on one

[verse 1]
well, your railroad gate, you know i just can’t jump it
sometimes it gets so hard, you see
i just sitting here, beating on my trumpet
with all these promises you left for me
but where are you tonight, sweet marie?

[verse 2]
well, i waited for you when i was half sick
yes, i waited for you when you hated me
well, i waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
yeah, when you knew i had somе other place to be
now, whеre are you tonight, sweet marie?

[bridge]
well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
but then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately

[verse 3]
well, six white horses that you did promise
were finally delivered down to the penitentiary
but to live outside the law, you must be honest
i know you always say that you agree
alright, so where are you tonight, sweet marie?
[bridge]
well, i don’t know how it happened
but the riverboat captain, he knows my fate
but everybody else, even yourself
they’re just gonna have to wait

[verse 4]
well, i got the fever down in my pockets
the persian drunkard, he follows me
yes, i can take him to your house, but i can’t unlock it
you see, you forgot to leave me with the key
oh, where are you tonight, sweet marie?

[harmonica solo]

[verse 5]
well, i been in jail when all the mail showed
that a man can’t give his address out to bad company
and now i stand here lookin’ at your yellow railroad
in the ruins of your balcony
wondering where you are tonight, sweet marie
