(Is This the Way to) Amarillo Lyrics
[Intro]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
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 (La-la-la-la-la), where I hang my hat (La-la-la-la-la)
Ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie who waits for me
[Verse 2]
There's a church bell ringin'
Hear the song of joy that it's singin'
For the sweet Maria, and the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway (La-la-la-la-la)
There's an open plane (La-la-la-la-la)
And it keeps me goin', through the wind and rain
[Chorus]
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
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie who waits for me
