I've got a girl named Sha-Marie a waitin' for me in Louisianne
Sha-Marie Sha-Marie wait a little longer if you can
I'm gonna marry Sha-Marie when I get home to Louisianne
Well there'll be flowers and white lilies on the bayou where we'll stand
I won't have to hold her mem'ry of old Sha-Marie's hand
But I'm a long way from home and Sha-Maria
But there'll be happy days when I get home again
Sha-Marie she's my baby and I am Sha-Marie's man
[ steel - guitar ]
I left my girl to see the world but I'm a gonna turn back if I can
I'm gonna marry Sha-Marie and I'll never leave again
There'll be flowers and white lilies...
Sha-Marie she's my baby and I am Sha-Marie's man
