Wait For Me Mary-Anne:The Marmalade.
#30 in UK in 1968.
INTRO: (x2) ..
#1.
There s a small town lying by the river..
halfway to nowhere.
Where the trains just stop to take on water..
but my girl, she lives there.
She don t have jewels, she ain t got money..
but she makes my whole world sunny.
Wears no make up on her face..but where she is,
well, that s my place.
And I m going home to my girl..
CHORUS:
Wait for me Mary-Anne..please, stay free Mary-Anne.
I m coming home, girl, just as soon as I can..
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
Wait for me Mary-Anne..you will see, Mary-Anne..
that I was born to be your true lovin man..
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
(INTERLUDE:) (x2) .. ..
#2.
In the city life gets often lonely for a boy
making good.
And it s hard to keep your sense of values
and to do 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 ll remember
summer skies..and dream of the place..I belong.
CHORUS:
Wait for me Mary-Anne..please, stay free Mary-Anne.
I m coming home, girl, just as soon as I can..
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
Wait for me Mary-Anne..you will see, Mary-Anne..
that I was born to be your true lovin man..
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
OUTRO:
Wait for me Mary-Anne..please, stay free Mary-Anne.
I m coming home, girl, just as soon as I can..
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
Wait for me Mary-Anne..you will see, Mary-Anne..
that I was born to be your true lovin man..
my, my, my Mary-Anne..(Fade.)
