(Is This The Way To) Amarillo

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

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 (la-la-la-la-la)

Where I hang my hat (la-la-la-la-la)

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-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

There's a church bell ringin'

Hear the song of joy that it's singin'

For the sweet Maria

And the guy who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway (la-la-la-la-la)

There's an open plain (la-la-la-la-la)

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-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

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

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
