Absolutely Sweet Marie

Lyrics

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
 Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
 I'm just sitting here, beating on my trumpet
 With all these promises you left for me
 But where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
 Well, I waited for you when I was a-half sick
 Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
 Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
 When you knew I had some other place to be
 Now, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
 Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
 But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
 Well, six white horses that you did promise
 Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary
 But to live outside the law, you must be honest
 I know you always say that you agree
 Alright, so where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
 Well, I don't know how it happened
 But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
 But everybody else, even yourself
 They're just gonna have to wait
 Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
 The Persian drunkard, he follows me
 Yes, I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it
 You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
 Ah, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie?
 ♪
 Well, I've been in jail, where all the mail showed
 That a man can't give his address out to bad company
 And now I stand here, lookin' at your yellow railroad
 In the ruins of your balcony
 Wondering where you are tonight, Sweet Marie
