TAKE ME DOWN TO THE HOSPITAL
There's a woman in New Orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was Friday payday
By Sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to Texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turned out she came from...well
Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Well I had no luck with women
Thought I'd try my hand at cards
So I headed for Nevada
Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin'
And the way the money goes
You could say it's getting colder
You could say I nearly froze
Said to love me she was born
But that was Friday payday
By Sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to Texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turned out she came from...well
Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Well I had no luck with women
Thought I'd try my hand at cards
So I headed for Nevada
Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin'
And the way the money goes
You could say it's getting colder
You could say I nearly froze
Bye Bye Baby Goodbye
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne
Whoa-ho-ho here I am on my knees again
I'll do anything just to make it right
Say you'll understand, oh I know you can
C'mon Marianne
No matter what people say, it didn't happen that way
She was a passing fling and not a permanent thing
Say you'll understand, oh I know you can
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Say you can understand
My Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne
Well now your big brown eyes are all full of tears
From the bitterness of my cheatin' years
So I hang my head, wish that I was dead
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Say you can understand
My Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne
