My Maria don’t you know I’ve come a long, long way?

I been longin’ to see her

When she’s around she takes my blues away

Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes

I’m a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

Maria,

Oh, Marie I love you girl…Oh my Maria

Maria,

Oh, Marie I love you girl

Maria, I love you

My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times

Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind

Gypsy lady you’re a miracle work for me

You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea

She is the sunlight when the skies are grey

She treats me so right lady take me away

Maria,

Oh, Marie I love you girl…Oh my Maria

Maria,

Oh, Marie I love you girl

Maria, I love you
