Ah My Sweet Marie by Lonnie Donegan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight he's gonna tell Marie he loves her
Tonight he's gonna do what I can't do
Tonight he's gonna hold her tight and gaze into her eyes
He'll cuddle her, befuddle her, and tell her silver lies

[Verse 2]
Tonight will be the night Marie is tempted
If only she can hold onto her vow
Tomorrow I will know just how sincere Marie has been
But wait and pray is all I can do now

[Bridge]
It was talent night down at the club
We were having fun
Marie got up to sing
And that's where all this begun

[Verse 3]
Hе told Marie that he would make hеr famous
If only she would do as he would say
And that is why she's left me here and gone away with him
So I must wait until another day
[Bridge]
It was talent night down at the club
We were having fun
Marie got up to sing
And that's where all this begun

[Verse 4]
But today Marie has written me a letter
She says she knows now that this thing was wrong
She's coming home tomorrow, so I've only got tonight
To wait until I own my sweet Marie
Just to wait until I own my sweet Marie
