Absolutely Sweet Marie Songtext
von Old Crow Medicine Show

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can′t jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm awaiting here, beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me

I′m wondering where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I awaited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I awaited for you when you hated me
And I awaited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew you had some other place to be

Oh, so tell me
Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then again, now not too many can be like you
Fortunately

Well, the six white horses that you did promise
Were already delivered down to the penitentiary
Oh, but to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree


So, tell then
Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Go on, boys

Well, I don't know how it happened
But the riverboat captain, he knows my fate
And everybody else, even yourself
You'll just have to wait

I′ve got the fever down in my pockets
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
Yeah, I can take me to your house, but I can′t unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key

So, tell me
Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Now, I've been in jail where all my mail showed
That a man can′t give out his address to bad company
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony

So tell me
Where you are tonight, sweet Marie


Oh, I wonder
Where you are tonight, sweet Marie?
Oh, somebody tell me
Where you are tonight, sweet Marie

Thank you, thanks a lot
