Townes Van Zandt - Marie слова песни


by Townes Van Zandt

I stood in line and left my name
took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
said they`d let me know
I put in my time till the Pocono line
shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie
now I can`t stay there no more


Fella `cross town said he`s lookin` for a man
to move some old cars around
maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out
van and do a little settlin` down
Aw, but I`m just dreamin`, I ain`t got no ride
and the junkyard`s a pretty good ways
that job`s about a half week old besides
it`d be gone now anyway


Unemployment said I got no more checks
and they showed me to the hall
my brother died in Georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn`t bad below the bridge
a little short on food that`s all
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat
we`re headed down into fall


I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
hustled up a little dough
but I got drunk and I woke up rolled
a couple of months ago
they got my harp and they got my dollar
them low life so and so`s
harps cost money and I ain`t got it
it`s my own fault I suppose


The Pocono`s down but the Chesapeak`s runnin`
two freights everyday
if it was just me I`d be headed south
but Marie can`t catch no train
She`s got some pain and she thinks it`s a baby,
says we gotta wait and see
in my heart I know it`s a little boy
hope he don`t end up like me


Well, the man`s still grinnin` says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
I`m feelin` too low down to lie
I guess I`ll just tell Marie the truth
hope she don`t break down and cry


Marie she didn`t wake up this morning
she didn`t even try
she just rolled over and went to heaven
my little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody`d find them
caught a Chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I`m headed south
so`s to meet me by and by


Marie will know I`m headed south
so to meet me by and by
