Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was haunted
Yes, 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
Now where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you will be
Well, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I don't know how it happened
But the riverboat captain, he knows my fate
Everybody else, even yourself
Just gonna have to wait
I got the fever down in my pocket
And the punishing drunkard follows me
I can take him to your house, but I cannot lock it
It seems you forgot to leave me with the key
And where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
And where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Thank you very much
Thank you all
