When the day is dawning
On a Texas
Sunday morning
How I long
to be there
with Marie who's
waiting for me there
Ev'ry lonely city
where I hang my hat
ain't as half as pretty
as where my baby's at
ls this the way
to Amarillo
Ev'ry night I've been
hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams
of Amarillo
and Marie
who waits for me
Show me the way
to Amarillo
I've been weeping
like a willow
Crying over
Amarillo
and Marie
who waits for me
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
And Marie
who
waits
for me
There's a
church bell ringing,
hear a song of joy
that it's singing
for the sweet
Maria,
and the guy who's
coming to see her.
Just beyond
the highway,
there's an
open plain,
and it keeps
me going
through the wind
and rain.
ls this the way
to Amarillo
Ev'ry night I've been
hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams
of Amarillo
and Marie
who waits for me
Show me the way
to Amarillo
I've been weeping
like a willow
crying over
Amarillo
and Marie
who waits for me
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
And Marie
who waits for me
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
And Marie
who waits for me
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
And Marie
who waits for me
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
Shalala
lalalalala
And Marie
who waits for me
