Maria Lyrics

Maria was born in the country She loved her homeland Maria was from a poor family For their girl, they had greater plans
Across the sea, not yet twenty Sailed our Maria A man to see, perhaps marry Dreams our Maria
This was to be Eventually for our Maria
Maria made plans for the future She had sons to her man Maria grew sad as the years passed And she did not understand
You must believe me Though it's not easy, trust in me My life's been wasted There's nothing sacred I can see
Though we're together It seems we've never known the way, hey, hey These lives we started Now, broken hearted everyday
Maria works in the factory She makes shoes for the man Maria lives for her family Now, she does what she can
Hold on to me Hold on to me, Maria For this was to be A tragedy for our Maria
Oh Maria, don't you cry, mmm Mmm, oh Maria, don't you cry Oh Maria, dry your eyes Mmm, mmm, oh Maria, don't you cry
