Lyrics:

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

Oh, but where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

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

Oh, but where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not all can be like you, fortunately

Six white horses that you did promise
We're finally delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree

Alright, so where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

I don’t know how it happened
But the riverboat captain, he knows my fate
But everybody else, even yourself
Is just gonna have to wait

I have the fever down in my pockets, whoo!
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
I can take him to your house but I can’t unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key

Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
