Lyrics
My Maria
Don’t you know I’ve come a long, long way?
Yeah, I been longin’ to see her when she’s around
She takes my blues away
Sweet Maria (sweet Maria)
The sunlight surely hurts my eyes
Oh, I’m a lonely dreamer on a highway in the sky
My Maria (oh, Maria, I love you, girl, oh, my Maria)
Maria (oh, Maria, I love you, girl)
Maria, I love you
Yes, you do now
Oh, my Maria
There were some blue and sorrow times
Now just my thoughts about you bring back
My peace of mind
Gypsy lady, mm-mm
You’re a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when the
Skies are gray
She treats me so right, lady
Take me away (take me away)
My Maria (oh, Maria, I love you, girl, oh, my Maria)

Maria, I love you
My Maria (my Maria)

Maria (oh, Maria, I love you, girl)
Maria, I love you
