Gene Pitney - Maria Elena lyrics

There's a cottage, In the village In the country, I have learned to love And every night the curfew rings And people sing their prayers to heaven above In the cottage there lives a girl Who crying for she can see Soldiers marching away to war They're fighting, to be free Maria Elena, I'm going away to war I'm going to fight I may not to back again Maria Elena, I love you forever more Please say it's alright you'll stay by my side til dawn (Instrumental) I remember moonlit nights And dancing in the streets til break of day Yes I remember how it was No-one would seperate us come what may Like a dream it desolves away And morning will soon be here Revolution has come our way I'm warning, you now dear (Repeat twice) Maria Elena, I'm going away to war I'm going to fight I may not to back again Maria Elena, I love you forever more Please say it's alright you'll stay by my side til dawn
