lyrics

My Angel Marie

You may ask me why I choose to wander, why I’m always alone there a-roamin’ the street.
Why I never go home you may wonder, is there nobody waiting for me?
Why I stay here a-drinkin’ till daybreak, why I ain’t settled down yet with somebody sweet
If I think on it my heart just may break, cause there’s nobody waiting for me.
But I once had a girl love me well, are you somewhere awaiting, my angel Marie?

I’ve got nobody to fix my supper, nobody to sit with and watch the TV,
Nobody to drink up a cup or two of whiskey and water with me
I’ve got nobody to clean up this mess, nobody to lay with and hold while she sleeps
Nobody for buying a white wedding dress and nobody to wear it for me
But I once had a girl love me well, are you somewhere awaiting, my angel Marie?
But she said I was lazy, pathetic, and yella, now there’s nobody waiting for me.

I’ve got nobody for me to walk with, nobody to call up and think I’m funny,
Nobody to sleep or to talk with, and nobody to wake up with me
I’ve got no one to cry on my shoulder, no one to put my arm around at the movie
Nobody to hug or to hold or to kiss her good night on the cheek
But I once had a girl love me well, are you somewhere awaiting, my angel Marie?
But somebody found some other fella, now there’s nobody waiting for me.

I’ve got no one to soothe me of anger, I’ve got no one to calm me emotionally
If I had somebody I would thank her for saving my sick self from me
I’ve a shotgun to get me some justice, and a shovel to hide my sins from the police
She won’t stay with me? Well now she must as for my fallen angel, Marie
Well I sent her to black burning hell, are you there now awaiting, my angel Marie?
I’ve got one body under the cellar, and she’s there now awaiting for me

Well I once had a girl love me well, are you somewhere awaiting, my angel Marie?
I’ve got one body under the cellar, and nobody waiting for me.
But if you can still hear me in hell, are you waiting there for me, my angel Marie?
