Strophe) 

When the day is dawniing on a Tecas Sunday morning 

How i long to be there 

With Marie who´s waitiing for me there 

Every lonely city where i hang my hat 

Aint as half as pretty as where my babi´s at 

 

Refrain) 

Is this the way to Amarillo 

Every night i´ve been hugging my pillow 

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me 

Show me the way to Amarillo 

I´ve been weeping like a willow 

Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me  

 

 

Interlude) 

sha la la la la la la la

sha la la la la la la la 

sha la la la la la la la and Marie who waits for me 

 

Strophe) 

There´s a church bell ringing 

Here the song of joy thats it´s singing 

for the sweet Maria, and the guy who´s coming to see her 

Just beyond the highway there´s an open plain 

and it keeps me going through the wind and rain 

 

Refrain) 

Is this the way to Amarillo 

Every night i´ve been hugging my pillow 

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me 

Show me the way to Amarillo 

I´ve been weeping like a willow 

Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me  

 

Interlude)

sha la la la la la la la and Marie who waits for me
