Lyrics

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

When the day is dawn ing

on a Tex as Sun day morn sing ing, how I long to be there

with Ma rie who’s wait ing for me there.

Ev ’ry lone ly ci ty

where I hang my hat

ain’t as half as pret ty

as (Esus4)where my ba by’s at.

Is this the way to A mar il lo?

Ev ’ry night I’ve been hug ging my pil low, dream ing dreams of A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E7)rie who waits for me.

Show me the way to A ma ril lo.

I’ve been weep ing like a wil low, cry ing ov er A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E)rie who waits for me.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

And Ma rie who waits for me.

There’s a church bell ring ing,

hear the song of joy that it’s sing ing for the sweet Mar i a,

and the guy who’s com ing to see her.

Just be yond the high way,

there’s an o pen plain,

and it keeps me go ing

through (Esus4)the wind and by’s rain.

Is this the way to A mar il lo?

Ev ’ry night I’ve been hug ging my pil low, dream ing dreams of A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E7)rie who waits for me.

Show me the way to A ma ril lo.

I’ve been weep ing like a wil low, cry ing ov er A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E)rie who waits for me.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

And Ma rie who waits for me.

for me.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

And Ma rie who waits for me.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Sha la la la la la la la.

And Ma rie who waits for me.
