[Intro] x4
|
[Verse]
Well, your railroadgate, you know I just can t jump it.
Sometimes it gets so so hard, you see.
I m just a sitting here beating on my trumpet
with all these promises you left for me
So where are you tonight, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
So where are you tonight, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
[Bridge 1]
Well I don t know how it happened, but the riverboat captain, he knows my fate
But the rest of us baby, even you maybe, youâre just gonna have to wait, wait, waitâ¦
[Solo]
[Verse]
where are you tonight, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
[Bridge 2]
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously,
But then again, not any of them are like you, fortunately, fortunately.

[Verse]
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were finally delivered to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest, darling
I know you always say that you agree
[Outro]
where are you tonight, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Allright!
(hold)
So where are you tonight, where are you tonight, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
