Paroles de Marie

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
