Is This the Way to Amarillo

Oh, when the day is dawning

On a Texas Sunday morning

Oh, how I long to be there

With Marie who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city

Where I hang my hat

Ain't as half as pretty

As where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo?

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la

Sweet Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing

Hear the song of joy that it's singing

For the sweet Maria

And the guy who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway

There's an open plain

And it keeps me going

Through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo?

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

And Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

Sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la

Sweet Marie who waits for me

And Marie who waits for me
