Wellyour railroad gateyou know I just can t jump it
Sometimes it gets so hardyou see
I m just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonightsweet Marie?
WellI waited for you when I was half sick
YesI waited for you when you hated me
WellI waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Nowwhere are you tonightsweet Marie?
Wellanybody can be just like meobviously
But thennow againnot too many can be like youfortunately.
Wellsix white horses that you did promise
Were fin lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the lawyou must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
But where are you tonightsweet Marie?
WellI don t know how it happened
But the river-boat captainhe knows my fate
But ev rybody elseeven yourself
They re just gonna have to wait.
WellI got the fever down in my pockets
The Persian drunkardhe follows me
YesI can take him to your house but I can t unlock it
You seeyou forgot to leave me with the key
Ohwhere are you tonightsweet Marie?
NowI been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can t give his address out to bad company
And now I stand here lookin at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony
Wond ring where you are tonightsweet Marie.
