Albert West - Amarillo lyrics

When the day is dawning On a Texas Sunday morning How I long to be there With Marie who's waiting for me there Every lonely city Where I hang my hat Ain't as half as pretty As where my baby's at! Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo I've been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me There's a church bell ringing Hear the song of joy that it's singing For the sweet Maria And the guy who's coming to see her Just beyond the highway There's an open plain And it keeps me going (Through the wind and rain) Through the wind and rain! Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Oh, I've been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me
