(Marie's the Name Of) His Latest Flame

A very old friend came by today
 'Cause he was telling everyone in town
 Of the love that he just found
 And Marie's the name of his latest flame
 He talked and talked and I heard him say
 That she had the longest, blackest hair
 The prettiest green eyes anywhere
 And Marie's the name of his latest flame
 
 Though I smiled, the tears inside were burning
 I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
 He was gone but still his words kept returning
 What else was there for me to do but cry?
 Would you believe that yesterday
 This girl was in my arms and swore to me
 She'd be mine eternally
 And Marie's the name of his latest flame
