I loved a girl, her name was Marie
|
But the hand of God took her from me
|
Down by the river in her favorite dress
|
Down by the river I laid her to rest
|
|
Marie , Marie the wind calls her name
|
What I wouldn't give to hold her again
|
|
In the little old shack that once was our home
|
In the little old shack where I wait alone
|
The days pass by so empty and slow
|
I try but I can't let her go
|
|
Down to the river with a rope in my hand
|
Down to the river where the cottonwood stands
|
Way up high I tie the knot to the bough
|
Dear God, my God, take me to her now
|
