LYRICS

A very old friend came by today

'Cause he was telling everyone in town

Of the love that 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 wished 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 swore 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 wished 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 swore to me

She'd be mine eternally?

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame

Oh, Marie's the name of his latest flame

And Marie's the name of his latest flame
