Artist: marty stuart
Song: maria
From the Fairbanks of Alaska
Through the Rockies I did run
Down the trail from Appalachia
Hiding from a long-armed lawman's gun
Stowed away in San Francisco
Down to Baja with the wind
Ah Maria, love to see you again
Ensenada was my harbor
And through the low life I did roam
There my sweet Maria found me
Took my hand and took me home
There she healed me in the waters
Of her love and tenderness
Ah Maria, love to see you again
Ah Maria, love to see you again
Sergeant Lopez can't be trusted
Though my Maria pays him well
For his silence is my freedom
And what he knows he mustn't tell
Wanted posted from Alaska, murder in the first degree
They say that gringo in that picture, looks a lot like me
See the walls of steel and concrete
Staring at me in the cold
Soon the chaplain will be callin'
Oh God, have mercy on my soul
And when the faceless man he asks me
What might last request might be
Ah Maria, love to see you again
Ah Maria, love to see you again
Ah Maria
