when that old cupid sorrow

comes straight to your heart

and you can't sleep at night

cause we're living apart

you ain't sure about her

don't know what to do

well don't be afraid

cause there'll be someone new

if you don't have much money

it makes you feel blue

then you are a poor gambler

with nothing to do

that big wheel of fortune

has no plans for you

well don't be afraid

cause we all do love you

let's come together together again

just like the old folks

as they sing with the band

like a waltzing maria

with a fire in her dark eyes

one more tequila and cling to the band

just like the old folks

every neighbor's a friend

like a waltzing maria

with those beautiful eyes

well i bought me a guitar

and wrote me a song

when i played a few chords

the crowd didn't stay long

they say i'm no big star

and i know that it's true

well don't be afraid

cause we all sing with you

let's come together together again

just like the old folks

as they sing with the band

like a waltzing maria

with a fire in a dark eyes

one more tequila and cling to the band

just like the old folks

every neighbor's a friend

like a waltzing maria

with those beautiful eyes

let's come together together again

just like the old folks

as they sing with the band

like a waltzing maria

with a fire in a dark eyes

one more tequila and cling to the band

just like the old folks

every neighbor's a friend

like a waltzing maria

with those beautiful eyes

like a wall sing maria

with those beautiful eyes

like a wall sing maria

with those beautiful eyes
