She's just sitting there beating on her [bad word] 
Waiting a new winters promises [bad word] 
Regrets can't undo 
No one knows where she's gone 
Except the one she loved the most 
Her cup of wine he did spill 
white wedding ghost 

By the river walks lonely sweet Marie 
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen 
Lonely sweet Marie 

I drove all the way from California 
Just to hear the river cry 
As I road a dream it warned me 
Not to look into the light 
If she'd take me I would go, yeah 
Will I see her tonight 

By the river walks lonely sweet Marie 
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen 
Lonely sweet Marie 

By the river walks lonely sweet Marie 
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen 
By the river walks lonely sweet Marie 
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen 
Lonely sweet Marie 

Oh Marie 
Don't be lonely 
I'm here 
Take me now
