Marie lyrics

Wylie Gustafson (Two Medicine Music, BMI)



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
