Absolutely Sweet Marie - Jason & The Scorchers

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can’t jump it

Sometimes it gets so, so hard, you see

I’m just sitting here beating on my trumpet

With all these promises you left for me

So where are you tonight?

Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I waited for you when I was half sick

Well, I waited for you when you hated me

Well, I waited for you inside the frozen traffic

When you knew I had some other place to be

So, where are you tonight?

Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I don’t know how it happened

But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate

Let’s do this baby even he maybe just gonna have to wait, wait, wait

So, where are you tonight?

Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously

Then again not many of them are like you, fortunately, fortunately

Six white horses that you did promise

Were finally delivered to the penitentiary

But to live outside the law, you must be honest, darling

I know you will always say that you agree, alright

So, where are you tonight?

Where are you tonight?

Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
