Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la


When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning

How I long to be there
With Marie
who's waiting 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 hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie
who waits for me


Show me the way
to Amarillo

I've been weeping
like a willow
Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie
who waits for me


Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

And Marie
who waits for me


There's a church bell
ringing
Hear the song of joy

that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy

who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway

There's an open plain
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain


Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night

I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me


Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me


Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

And Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me


Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
