Message from Maria (Single Version)

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting at home alone in sorrow and misery
Wishing that my Maria, oh, was here to comfort me
Forgetting, like the raven, she said "Never, never no more"
Then suddenly, there came a knock upon my door
And a voice said

[Chorus]
I've got a message from Maria
I hope it means once again I can see her
I've, oh I've got a message from Maria
I hope she's not asking me to free her

Listen to me good, now

[Verse 2]
Maria wrote and said, My love for you still lingers on
But by thе time you read this lettеr, honey I may be gone"
I saw the teardrop stain on the paper, Maria cried
Someone wrote, "She called your name just before she died"

[Chorus]
I'm cryin' because I'm in a sad mood (I've got a message from Maria) Oh honey, I'm cryin' because I don't know what to do
Mm, mmm mmm (I've got a message from Maria)
Mmm mm, oh I can't say no more because I'm sad

(I've got a message from Maria)
