Shalalalalalala(3x)
When the day is dawning
on a Texas sunday morning
How I long to be there
with Mary who's waiting for me there
Every lonely city
where I hang my head
ain't as half as pretty
as where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been huggin' my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarillo
and sweet Mary who's waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
crying over Amarillow
and sweet Mary who waits for me
shalalalalala(3x)
and Mary who waits for me
There's a churchbell ringing
hear the song of joy that it's singinging
for the sweet Maria
and a guy who's coming to see her
just beyond the highway
there's an open place
and it keeps me going
through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been huggin' my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarillo
and sweet Mary who's waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
crying over Amarillow
and sweet Mary who waits for me
shalalalalala(3x)
and Mary who waits for me
Looked at you one day
couldn't turn away
since your on my mind
there's no peace I find
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you (2x)
I can't live without you
thought our love was true
had to go away
can't you hear me pray
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you (2x)
Please don't close the door
gimme a chance once more
now let me in and stay
can't you hear me pray
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you (2x)
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you (2x)
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you (2x)
Chalala I need you
Chalala I love you
Laura and Tommy were lover
she wanted to give her everything
flowers, presents and most of all a weddingring
he saw a sign for a stockcar race
a thousand dollar price it red
he couldn't get Laura on the phone
so to her mother
Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I maybe late
I've got something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing ground
he was the youngest driver there
the crowd roared as they started the race
round the track he drove at a deadly place
no one knows what happened that day
how his car overturned in flames
but as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
with his dying breath they heared him say
Tell Laura I love her
tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I maybe late
my love for her will never die
Now in the chapel Laura prays
for het Tommy who passed away
it was just for Laura he lived and died
alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her
tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I maybe late
my love for her will never die
