Amarillo - Lyrics by Tony Christie


Lyrics
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala


Sha la la lala lalala
When the day is dawningon a Texas Sunday morninghow I long to be therewith Marie who's waiting for me thereevery lonely city where I hang my hatain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarilloevery night I've been hugging my pillowdreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for meshow me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willowcrying over Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala




Sha la la lala lalala


Sha la la lala lalala



and Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringinghear the song of joy that it's singingfor the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see herjust beyong the highway, there's an open plainand it keeps me going through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarilloevery night I've been hugging my pillowdreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for meshow me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willowcrying over Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala




Sha la la lala lalala


Sha la la lala lalala



and Marie who waits for me
