Lonnie Donegan — Ah My Sweet Marie

[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
