[Buy " " CD]

Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala

When the day is dawningon a Texas Sunday morning
how I long to be there
with Marie who's waiting for me there
every lonely city where I hang my hat
ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing
hear the song of joy that it's singing
for the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see her
just beyong the highway, there's an open plain
and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

 

[Icy Gull]

Dross just like "Knock 3 times" by the same band - Dawn and nearly as bad as Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle of the Road.

 

[Northstander]

All of em classics!!!

 

[Man of Harveys]

Avenues and Alleyways is another classic by the great Sheffield crooning phenomenon that IS "the Christie". He was also the vocals on "Walk Like A Tiger" by All Seeing I a few years back. My grandmother was a big fan.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Is someone confusing Tony Christie with Tony Orlando?

 

[Dover]

They certainly are OTLW.

Wasn't "Amarillo" used to advertise cheap British sherry? Which I fear was sold by the barrel!
