Intro

 A very old friend

Came by today

 'Cause he was telling everyone in town

 About the love he just found

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 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

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry

 Would you believe that yesterday

 This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

 She'd be mine eternally

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry

 Would you believe that yesterday

 This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

 She'd be mine eternally

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

And Marie's the name of his latest flame
