A very old friend, came by today..
cause he was telling everyone in town,
of the love that he'd just found,
And Marie`s the name
Of his latest flame.Em]
Verse 2
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 a 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?
Verse 3
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.
