Lyrics

[00:00.91] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:04.74] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:08.37] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:22.85] When the day is dawning
[00:26.22] On a Texas Sunday Morning
[00:29.82] How I long to be there
[00:33.29] With Marie who's waiting for me there
[00:37.00] Every lonely city
[00:40.30] Where I hang my hat
[00:43.93] Ain't as half as pretty
[00:47.06] As where my baby's at
[00:51.16] Is this the way to Amarillo?
[00:54.69] Every night I've been hugging my pillow
[00:58.22] Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
[01:01.68] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[01:05.39] Show me the way to Amarillo
[01:08.76] I've been weeping like a willow
[01:12.43] Crying over Amarillo
[01:15.93] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[01:19.75] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:23.17] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:26.85] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:30.19] And Marie who waits for me
[01:33.78] There's a church bell ringing
[01:37.63] Hear the song of joy that its singing
[01:41.16] For the sweet Maria
[01:44.70] And the guy who's coming to see her
[01:48.37] Just beyond the highway
[01:51.78] There's an open plain and it keeps me going
[01:58.71] Through the wind and rain
[02:02.47] Is this the way to Amarillo?
[02:06.00] Every night I've been hugging my pillow
[02:09.76] Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
[02:13.24] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[02:16.35] Show me the way to Amarillo
[02:20.37] Well I've been weeping like a willow
[02:23.98] Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
[02:31.24] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:34.67] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:38.17] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:41.88] And Marie who waits for me
[02:45.43] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:49.03] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:52.78] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:56.16] And Marie who waits for me
[02:59.92] Sha la la la la la la la
[03:03.37] Sha la la la la la la la
[03:06.72] Sha la la la la la la la
[03:10.36] And Marie who waits for me
[03:12.30]
