Intro

A. A very old friend came by today

Cos' he was telling everyone in town

Of the love that he'd just found

And Marie's the name of his latest flame.

A. 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.

B. Though I smiled the tears inside were a burnin'

I wished him luck and then he said goodbye

And he was gone but still his words kept returning

What else was left for me to do but cry.

A. Would you believe that yesterday

This girl was in my arms and sworing me

She'd be mine eternally

And Marie's the name of his latest flame.

B. Though I smiled . . .

A. Would you belive . . .
