Country Joe McDonald – Sweet Marie lyrics

Sweet Marie,
You know that she's the only one I'll ever love,
Sweet Marie.

Sweet Marie,
You know that she's the only one I'm thinking of,
Sweet Marie.

And at night
When the moon and stars are shinin' bright
I'll see my baby,
Don't mean maybe,
Talk about my sweet Marie, yeah.

Do dee do do da da da
D-do do do
Yes indeed oh she's my sweetie.
Do do do do
D-da da da da
D-da da da da da da da.

Way down in Nirvana
I met a girl named Sylvana,
She used to be the vamp of New Orleans.
And when she did the samba
I did think that I had an order
But it's not exactly as it seems.

She held me close and told me things
I'd never heard a woman
Say before now
Don't get sober
That was on my mind yeah.

Dee dee dee ... do da da.
