When the day is dawnin' On a Texas Sunday mornin' How I long to be there With Marie who's waitin' 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 huggin' my pillow Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo I've been weepin' like a willow Cryin' over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me There's a church bell ringin' Hear the sound of joy that it's singin' For the sweet Maria And the guy who's comin' to see her Just beyond the highway There's an open plain And it keeps me goin' Through the wind and the rain Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been huggin' my pillow Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo I've been weepin' like a willow Cryin' over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me And sweet Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me And Marie who waits for me
