Текст пісні Marie - Willie Nelson

Marie

I stood in line and left my name\nTook about six hours or so\nWell, the man just grinned like it was all a game\nSaid they’d let me know\nI put in my time till the Pocono line\nShut down two years ago\nI was staying at the mission till I met Marie\nNow I can’t stay there no more\nFella 'cross town said he’s lookin' for a man\nTo move some old cars around\nMaybe me and Marie could find a burned out van\nAnd do a little settlin' down\nBut I’m just dreamin', I ain’t got no ride\nAnd the junkyard’s a pretty good ways\nThat job’s about a half a week old besides\nWe’d be gone anyway\nUnemployment said I got no more checks\nThey showed me to the hall\nMy brother died in Georgia some time ago\nGot no one left to call\nThe summer wasn’t bad below the bridge\nA little short on food that’s all\nNow I gotta get Marie some kind of coat\nWe’re headed down in the fall\nI used to play the mouth harp pretty good\nHustled up a little dough\nBut I got drunk and I woke up rolled\nA couple of months ago\nWell, they got my harp, got my dollar\nThem low life so and so’s\nHarps cost money and I ain’t got it\nIt’s my own fault I suppose\nWell, the Pocono’s down but the Chesapeake’s runnin'\nTwo freights everyday\nIf it was just me I’d be headed south\nBut Marie can’t catch no train\nWell, she’s got some pain and she thinks it’s a baby\nSays we gotta wait and see\nIn my heart I knew it’s a little boy\nHope he don’t end up like me\nWell, the man’s still grinnin', says he lost my file\nGotta stand in line again\nI wanna to kill him but I just say no\nHad enough of that line my friend\nHeaded back to the bridge, it’s getting kinda cold\nFeelin' too low down to lie\nI guess I have to tell Marie the truth\nHope she don’t break down and cry\nWell, Marie she didn’t wake up this morning\nDidn’t even try\nJust rolled over and went to heaven\nMy little boy safe inside\nWell, I laid them in the sun where somebody’d find them\nCaught a Chesapeake on the fly\nMarie will know I’m headed south\nSo’s to meet me by and by\nMarie will know I’m headed south\nSo’s to meet me by and by
