Maria (Love To See You Again)

From the Fairbanks of Alaska



Through the Rockies I did run



Down the trail from Appalachia



Hiding from a long-armed lawman's gun



Stowed away in San Francisco



Down to Baja with the wind



Ah Maria, love to see you again



Ensenada was my harbor



And through the low life I did roam



There my sweet Maria found me



Took my hand and took me home



There she healed me in the waters



Of her love and tenderness



Ah Maria, love to see you again



Ah Maria, love to see you again



Sergeant Lopez can't be trusted



Though my Maria pays him well



For his silence is my freedom



And what he knows he mustn't tell



Wanted posted from Alaska, murder in the first degree



They say that gringo in that picture, looks a lot like me



See the walls of steel and concrete



Staring at me in the cold



Soon the chaplain will be callin'



Oh God, have mercy on my soul



And when the faceless man he asks me



What might last request might be



Ah Maria, love to see you again



Ah Maria, love to see you again



Ah Maria
