My Girl Maria

(album: Help Yourself - 1968)

My days of running 'round are over;
It's time for me to settle down
Found myself a four-leaf clover;
I know where I'm bound
I'm going home to see Maria;
I know she's waiting for me there
I count the hours 'til I see her;
She knows how I care

Yes, I'm going home to see my girl, Maria
There's no-one else who loves like Maria
We face the troubles of the world together forever
We'll love each other 'til the end of time
Oh, yes, I'm going home to see my girl, Maria
There's no-one else who loves like Maria
We face the troubles of the world together forever
We'll love each other 'til the end of time

5-bar break

I'm tired of roaming 'round;
I'll never have a place to call my own
But now I know I'll kiss Maria tomorrow at dawn
So many things I want to tell her
About the future I have planned
But when I speak of church bells ringing
She'll understand

Yes, I'm going home to see my girl, Maria
There's no-one else who loves like Maria
We face the troubles of the world together forever
We'll love each other 'til the end of time

Oh, yes, I'm going home to see my girl, Maria
There's no-one else who loves like Maria
We face the troubles of the world together forever
We'll love each other 'til the end of time

Oh, yes, I'm going home to see my girl, Maria
There's no-one else who loves like Maria
We face the troubles of the world together forever
We'll love each other 'til the end of time
