Tony Christie - Amarillo Lyrics
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When the day is dawningOn a Texas Sunday morningHow I long to be thereWith Marie who's waiting for me there
Every lonely city (la-la-la-la-la)Where I hang my hat (la-la-la-la-la)Ain't as half as prettyAs where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarillo?Every night I've been hugging my pillowDreaming dreams of AmarilloAnd sweet Marie who waits for meShow me the way to AmarilloI've been weeping like a willowCrying over AmarilloAnd sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laAnd Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringin'Hear the song of joy that it's singin'For the sweet MariaAnd the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway (la-la-la-la-la)There's an open plain (la-la-la-la-la)And it keeps me going through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo?Every night I've been hugging my pillowDreaming dreams of AmarilloAnd sweet Marie who waits for meShow me the way to AmarilloI've been weeping like a willowCrying over AmarilloAnd sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laAnd Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laAnd Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-laSha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
