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 . . .
