Way to Amarillo lyrics
by Tony Christie



(Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala)

When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city (Ohoho, oho)
Where I hang my hat (Ohoho, oho)
Ain't as half as pretty
As where my baby's at!

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

Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
And Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing
Hear the song of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway (Ohoho, oho)
There's an open plain (Ohoho, oho)
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain!

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

Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
And Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
And Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
