Amarillo

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

When the day is dawning

On a Texas Sunday morning

How I long to be there

With Marie who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city

Ha ha ha ha ha

Where I hang my hat

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

And Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing

Hear the song of joy that it's singing

For the sweet Maria and the guy who's coming to see her

Just beyong the highway, there's an open plain

And it keeps me going through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

And marie who waits for me
