When the day is dawning On a Texas Sunday Morning How I long to be there With Marie whos waiting for me there Every lonely city Where i hang my hat Aint as half as pretty As where my baby's at Is this the way to Amarillo Every night ive been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Ive been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Sha la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me Theres a church bell ringing Hear the song of joy that its singing For the sweet Maria And the guy whos coming to see her Just beyond the highway Theres an open plane and it keeps me going Through the wind and rain Is this the way to Amarillo Every night ive been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Ive been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me Sha la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me Sha la la la la la la And Marie who waits for me
