lyrics

SWEET MARIE by Redentor Jimenez

She walked into the smoke-filled room
Like a ballerina on a stage
Her body is tight and light as a feather
Helping the band playin’
To give them soul

The lady sang in Spanish Harlem
Every Johnny knew her name
The Latin blood rushing inside her
Danced the rhythm and soul of Santa Fe

You can call her Maria or Marie
And if you feel lucky tonight
You can see her in the sailor moon
When the tides are low
Think of her large Spanish eyes
And sweet Marie will come
To sing and sing and dance and dance
for you (for you)

She carried the crowd down the canyon
like a mule with a heavy load
Her songs read a story ‘bout
her forgotten dreams
left on the street untold

Big eyes from those pretty girls
Were stuck on sweet Marie
And from the outside of the café window
You can see
the contessa for free

You can call her Maria or Marie
And if you feel lucky tonight
You can see her in the sailor moon
When the tides are low
Think of her large Spanish eyes
And sweet Marie will come
To sing and sing and dance and dance
for you (for you)

She walked into the ballroom
Like a senorita Joan of Arc
Her body is tight and lean and mean
Lighting the smoking machine
With a single to spark

Before the night was over
The senorita made the dead man dance
And all the boys were on their knees
Begging sweet Marie
for a second chance

You can call her Maria or Marie
And if you feel lucky tonight
You can see her in the sailor moon
When the tides are low
Think of her large Spanish eyes
And sweet Marie will come
To sing and sing and dance and dance
for you (for you)

Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie

about

Red Reyne image

Red Reyne Washington, D.C.

Redentor, a.k.a. Red Reyne, was born in the Philippines. Red moved to New Jersey when he was 10, and he’s been here ever since. His love for rock and roll, was fixed after first hearing Hey Jude by the Beatles. As a small boy in the islands, he’d always carry around the words of this song, torn from a lyric book and tucked in his back pocket… a near reminder of how a good song should be written. ... more
