(Is This The Way To) Amarillo Lyrics

[00:01.39] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:04.74] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:08.10] Sha la la la la la la la
[00:12.56]
[00:22.41] When the day is dawning
[00:25.89] On a Texas Sunday Morning
[00:29.31] How I long to be there
[00:32.92] With Marie who's waiting for me there
[00:36.20] Every lonely city
[00:39.93] Where I hang my hat
[00:43.35] Ain't as half as pretty
[00:46.10] As where my baby's at
[00:50.12] Is this the way to Amarillo?
[00:53.92] Every night I've been hugging my pillow
[00:57.05] Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
[01:00.72] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[01:04.06] Show me the way to Amarillo
[01:07.90] I've been weeping like a willow
[01:11.39] Crying over Amarillo
[01:14.76] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[01:18.38] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:21.89] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:25.15] Sha la la la la la la la
[01:28.94] And Marie who waits for me
[01:32.44] There's a church bell ringing
[01:35.84] Hear the song of joy that its singing
[01:39.44] For the sweet Maria
[01:43.18] And the guy who's coming to see her
[01:46.54] Just beyond the highway
[01:49.91] There's an open plain and it keeps me going
[01:56.47] Through the wind and rain
[02:00.32] Is this the way to Amarillo?
[02:04.02] Every night I've been hugging my pillow
[02:07.54] Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
[02:10.67] And sweet Marie who waits for me
[02:14.27] Show me the way to Amarillo
[02:18.00] Well I've been weeping like a willow
[02:20.68] Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
[02:28.33] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:32.02] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:35.68] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:38.78] And Marie who waits for me
[02:42.50] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:45.90] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:49.56] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:53.03] And Marie who waits for me
[02:56.56] Sha la la la la la la la
[02:59.93] Sha la la la la la la la
[03:03.45] Sha la la la la la la la
[03:07.05] And Marie who waits for me
[03:07.56]
