Thin Lizzy - Sweet Marie (Live 1976 TV Appearance Audio) video free download

Lyrics & Information

This is taken from a TV appearance where Phil was just on his own. The vocals are 100 percent live and I'm pretty sure the bass is too, but no other members were there at the time. I think it's much better version then the album as it's got incredible emotion. Superb song and enjoy!

Lyrics :-

[Intro by Phil]

Sweet Marie, you mean a lot to me

In my memory, oh I hold you dearly

Once in all my dreams, my plans hopes and future schemes

There was Sweet Marie

And my home is where my heart is

But my heart is not at home

You see, whenever we are parted

Oh I feel so all alone

The twilight's falling the full moon it is calling

And what the sea tells only sea shells are whispering

(Sweet Marie, Sweet Marie, Sweet Marie)

Into the darkness, there goes this message to you my darling

Sweet Marie

Some lovers they are parted

They must end what they have started

All that's left is the broken hearted

And I must depart my Sweet Marie

(Solo)

Somewhere out in Arizona

Such a long way from California

Oh I felt so alone there

I was two thousand miles away from home there

Tonight we're gonna play Boston

And I still don't know what the hell is going on

Oh but I just wrote this song and

It keeps me thinking of

Sweet Marie

She mean a lot to me

Oh this melody keeps on haunting me

It's with me constantly, in harmony

Oh my Sweet Marie

But my home is where my heart is

And my heart it's not at home

You see whenever we are parted

Oh I feel so all alone

(Clapping)
