Paroles de Marie
Townes van Zandt23845
By townes van zandt
I stood in line and left my name
Took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Said theyd let me know
I put in my time till the pocono line
Shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met marie
Now I cant stay there no more
Fella cross town said hes lookin for a man
To move some old cars around
Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out
Van and do a little settlin down
Aw, but Im just dreamin, I aint got no ride
And the junkyards a pretty good ways
That jobs about a half week old besides
Itd be gone now anyway
Unemployment said I got no more checks
And they showed me to the hall
My brother died in georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasnt bad below the bridge
A little short on food thats all
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat
Were headed down into fall
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
Hustled up a little dough
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
A couple of months ago
They got my harp and they got my dollar
Them low life so and sos
Harps cost money and I aint got it
Its my own fault I suppose
The poconos down but the chesapeaks runnin
Two freights everyday
If it was just me Id be headed south
But marie cant catch no train
Shes got some pain and she thinks its a baby,
Says we gotta wait and see
In my heart I know its a little boy
Hope he dont end up like me
Well, the mans still grinnin says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
Im feelin too low down to lie
I guess Ill just tell marie the truth
Hope she dont break down and cry
Marie she didnt wake up this morning
She didnt even try
She just rolled over and went to heaven
My little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebodyd find them
Caught a chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know Im headed south
Sos to meet me by and by
Marie will know Im headed south
So to meet me by and by
