His latest flame (Marie’s the name)

[Testo di "His latest flame (Marie’s the name)"]

[Strofa 1]
A very old friend came by today
Because he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

[Strofa 2]
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

[Strofa 3]
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

[Strofa 4]
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
