Hair pitch black like the midnight sky
Eyes like the jungle, you're something wild
Her sweet melody sings wherever I go
Running through my mind, sittin' in this road
Maybe I'll
Write a letter from this little old country town
Down in Texas
I'll keep it here for you
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mari, can we go together?
Nothin' here changes, seasons go by
You said hello, you said goodbye
Did you run away? Mariella, where did you go?
Somewhere new, somewhere old
Maybe I'll
Not ever wanna live alone
In the country town down in Texas
With the memory of you
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, holding onto you
