(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame

A very old friend
Came by today
Cuz he was telling everyone in town
Of the love that he'd jsut found
And Marie's the name
Of his latest flame

He talked and talked
And I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name
Of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burnin'
I wished him luck and then he said good-bye
He was gone but still the words kept returnin'
What else was there for me to do but cry?

Would you believe
That yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name
Of his latest flame

Thoug I smiled the tears inside were a-burnin'
I wished him luck and then he said good-bye
He was gone but still his words kept returnin'
What else was there for me to do but cry?

Would you believe
That yesterday
She was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name
Of his latest flame
Yeah, Marie's the name
Of his latest flame
Oh, Marie's the name
Of his latest flame
Oh, Marie's the name
Of his latest flame
