Annie Marie Cherie song lyrics

I used to know ths girl Marie

And so the story goes, she never really talked to me

Her house was seven blocks away

On my way to school, I went to see if she's okay

Tell me, where have you gone?

Where have you gone, Marie?

Why did you leave?

Come back to me, cherie

I know you went away

You went away, Marie

You could not stay

You could not stay, cherie

Please stay with me, Marie, cherie

Oh no, he did not treat you right

Your innocence is lost

You never had the chance to fly

She looked so pretty like a dream

Her skin's like velvet cream

She never made her sweet sixteen

Nobody came around to see her

It was as if she wasn't there

A lone butterfly that's caught in amber

Always your daddy's little girl

Tell me, where have you gone?

Where have you gone, Marie?

Why did you leave?

Come back to me, cherie

I know you went away

You went away, Marie

You could not stay

You could not stay, cherie

Please stay with me, Marie, cherie
