Hey!
There's a small town lying by the river
Halfway to nowhere
Where the train's to stop to take on water
But my girl, she waits there
She don't have jewels, she ain't got money
But she makes my whole world sunny
Wears no makeup on her face
But where she is, well, that's my place
And I'm going home to my girl
Wait for me, Marianne
Please stay free, Marianne
I'm coming home, girl
Just as soon as I can
Wait for me, Marianne
You will see, Marianne
That I was born to be your true loving man
Marianne
When your silly life gets awful lonely
Or a boy made for one girl
And it's hard to keep your sense of values
And to do the things you should
Girls come easy, try to make you
Just as soon they'll try to break you
When the city dulls my eyes
Then I remember summer skies
And dream of the place I belong
Wait for me, Marianne
Please stay free, Marianne
I'm coming home, girl
Just as soon as I can
Wait for me, Marianne
You will see, Marianne
That I was born to be your true loving man
Wait for me, Marianne
Please stay free, Marianne
I'm coming home, girl
