Oh Marie as written by Gerald DePalmas and then reinterpreted by Johnny Hallyday and then re re interpreted by John McNulty. My favorite line is "Death promised me some vacation time." Very French.
Oh Marie, if you only knew
All the evil that they did to me
Oh Marie if I only could
Lie in your naked arms
My innocence is unconscious
You were my last chance
Little by little, you disappear
Despite my desperate efforts
And nothing will ever be the same
I’ve seen more horrors than miracles
Men have become raving mad
I’d give anything to forget
Oh Marie, if you only knew
All the evil that they did to me
Oh Marie if I only could
Lie in your naked arms
And I’ve run all day
Without knowing where I am going
In the noise and the smoke
I see shadows trying to kill me
Tomorrow, it’s going to be a big day
I have to give proof of my bravery
Go to the front in the first lines of battle
Oh Marie, come on girl, give me a sign
Laid out in the grass I wake up
I’ve seen death in its most simple form
She promised me some vacation time
Death promised me one final dance
Oh Marie, if you only knew
All the bad that they did to me
Ph Marie, I’ll wait for you up in heaven
You’ll find me there
Oh Marie I’ll wait for you in the sky
You’ll find me there
