Maria, darling I must go
But remember I love you so
Unfortunately we must part
Girl yuh don't know how it breaks my heart
I wish I could have stayed with you
And give yuh what is yours, doo-doo
But until we meet again I know
Right now we got to say aye-o
Oh-ohh-ohhh, Maria!
Oh-ohh-ohhh, Maria!
Oh darling if I had my way
Forever with you I would stay
[?] have another girl
That I love so much in this world
I like de way yuh walk Marie
And I like de way yuh talk, Marie
I like de way yuh smile, Marie
Yuh know yuh have me goin' wild, Marie
Whoah-wah-whoah-ohhhh, Maria!
Whoah-wah-whoah-ohhhh, Maria!
I went home to Marie last night
But somebody nearly out me light
Ah don't know what was his reason
Now de police have him in prison
I don't know if what hе said was true
He says he lovе Maria too
But now ah can't see what to do;
He have meh eyes well black and blue
Whoah-wah-whoah-ohhhh, Maria!
Whoah-wah-whoah-ohhhh, Maria!
