Absolutely Sweet Marie (Take 1)

Engineer: What's the name of this one Bob?

Bob: Er, Where Are You Tonight Sweet Marie

Engineer: Rolling on One

[Verse 1]

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it

Sometimes it gets so hard, you see

I just sitting here, beating on my trumpet

With all these promises you left for me

But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

[Verse 2]

Well, I waited for you when I was half sick

Yes, I waited for you when you hated me

Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic

Yeah, when you knew I had somе other place to be

Now, whеre are you tonight, sweet Marie?

[Bridge]

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously

But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately

[Verse 3]

Well, six white horses that you did promise

Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary

But to live outside the law, you must be honest

I know you always say that you agree

Alright, so where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

[Bridge]

Well, I don't know how it happened

But the riverboat captain, he knows my fate

But everybody else, even yourself

They're just gonna have to wait

[Verse 4]

Well, I got the fever down in my pockets

The Persian drunkard, he follows me

Yes, I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it

You see, you forgot to leave me with the key

Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 5]

Well, I been in jail when all the mail showed

That a man can't give his address out to bad company

And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad

In the ruins of your balcony

Wondering where you are tonight, sweet Marie
