Songs About Maria...Know any?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWp3NTUqlg

That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my light on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'
Chorus:
Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.
Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.
That's my favorite shirt, you always had on.
Man, It sure looked good, ev'ry time you walked on.
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could.
You're good.
Somethin' I can't explain.
You tell me lately I've changed.
If you feel better tell me why are you cryin'?
(Repeat Chorus)
Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone.
Come to bed.
Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down.
Maria just calm down
In these situations I've found it's best not to be proud
and say that you're sorry.
Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.
Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.
And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
on and on and on and on......

11. Maria by TKA

She was fine, the girl was from the projects
She had long brown hair and a body beyond compare
She had a boyfriend, a drug dealer
But I didn't mind, cause she wanted to be with me
So we have to set her free
And when I hear her name, I swear I hear the wind blow
It drives me insane, I'll never let her go
And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying
And I'm dying to see her once more

Chorus:
Maria, the most beautiful song I ever heard
Maria, don't tell your boyfriend how I feel about you
'Cause I need you, and I gotta make you mine
I got to make you mine

Wouldn't it be cool, if we got together
I'll show you that I love you then you'd understand
If he's a drug dealer, don't you know that he won't last forever
And you need the affections of an old man
And when I see your name, I swear I hear the wind blow
It drives me insane, I'll never let you go
And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying
And I'm dying to see you once more

Chorus (3x)

Freestyle Mix

Chorus

Whenever she's around
My whole world starts coming down
And I lose control
When she's away I began to miss her
She holds me close and I can't resist her
She kisses me on the lips
Walks away and wiggles her hips
And I lose control
Gotta have that girl, she's all I ever wanted
Don't tell your man
I got a plan
So understand that I can never be the type of guy
That will try to make you cry, ---
-- were never true to take the blame
So I will make your mine, don't look behind
In time the thing will fit the crime
Like they say, what comes around goes around
And brings you down
Maria, yeah some place for us
Maria, somewhere a place for us
Together we will be, until eternity
Somewhere out there, I got to make you mine
Tonight in the corners of my lonely room
I pray for your salvation, rehabilitation
And I pray to the lord above to forever bring me love
And as I fall asleep to dream once more
I have to make you mine

[Guava Jelly]

13. How about Marie?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CawXc5vpyc
Sweet Marie waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala

When the day is dawningon a Texas Sunday morning
how I long to be there
with Marie who's waiting for me there
every lonely city where I hang my hat
ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing
hear the song of joy that it's singing
for the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see her
just beyong the highway, there's an open plain
and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

18. Mary :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rIEaP9OwYk
Mary/Sublime
Maybe one breath away
I'll find the words to say
I'll sit and light the bong
I'll hold my hit in real long

I don't know if I can go up inside of you tonight
Oh Mary baby, please don't fuss and fight

You've heard the line before
Mary, baby, please don't think I'm a bore
If you come home with me
Turn off the lights lock up the door and start gettin' busy

I don't know if I can go so far up inside you tonight
Mary, baby, I could do it right

When we got to her pad
Mary, baby, started callin' me her dad
As she gave me h__d
We could not find the damn bed

Fifteen years old plus one
Hotter than a microwave oven

Mary, baby, daddy is comin' home.

[Guava Jelly]

28. Another Mary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh9tudoT-z8

Mary walks
down to the water's edge
and there she hangs her head
to find herself faded
a shadow of what she once was
She said "How long have I been sleeping
and why do I feel so old
why do I feel so cold
my heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"
With trembling hands she reaches up
a stranger's flesh is offered
and I would be the last to know
I would be the last the let it show
I would be the last to go

Take her hand
she will lead you through the fire
give you back hope
and hope that you won't take too much
respecting what is left
she cradled us
she held us in her arms
unselfish in her suffering she could not understand
that no one seemed to have the time
to cherish what was offered
and I would be the last to know
and I would be the last to let it show
I would be the last to go...
Mary walks...


A good buddy turned me on to this one.

MARIA
Rage Against the Machine


Tha sun ablaze as Maria's foot
Touches tha surface of sand
On northern land
As human contraband
Some rico from Jalisco
Passed her name to tha boss
She stuffed ten to a truckbed
She clutches her cross
Here comes tha exhaust
And it rips through her lungs
She's off fast to tha pasture
Like cattle she'll cross
Degree 106
Sweat and vomit are thrown
And she prays and suffocates
Upon tha memories of home
Of Yanqui guns for blood debts on tha loans
Of smoldering fields rape rubble and bones
Of graves hidden trapped up in visions of war
Of nothing no one nobody no more
These are her mountains and skies and
She radiates
Through history's rivers of blood
She regenerates
And like tha sun disappears only to reappear
She's eternally here
Her time is near
Never conquered but here

To tear away at tha mask

And now she got a quota
Tha needle and thread crucifixion
Sold and shipped across tha new line
of Mason Dixon
Rippin' through denim
Tha point an inch from her vein
Tha foreman approach
His steps now pound in her brain
His presence it terrifies
And eclipses her days
No minutes to rest
No moment to pray
And with a whisper
He whips her
Her soul chained to his will
"My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill"
Her arms jerks
Tha sisters gather round her and scream
As if in a dream
Eyes on tha crimson stream
Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to tha floor
I am nothing, no one, nobody, no more

These are her mountains and skies and
she radiates
And through history's rivers of blood
she regenerates
And like tha sun disappears only to reappear
Maria she's eternally here
Her time is near
Never conquered but here

To tear away at tha mask
To tear away at tha mask
To tear away at tha mask

No minutes to rest
No moment to pray
No minutes to rest
No moment to pray
No minutes to rest
It eclipses her day
Just a moment to pray

ugh!

To tear away at tha mask
Away at tha mask
To tear away at tha mask
To tear away at tha mask

37. Townes Van Zandt /Marie

I stood in line and left my name
Took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Said they’d let me know
I put in my time till the pocono line
Shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met marie
Now I can’t stay there no more

Fella ’cross town said he’s lookin’ for a man
To move some old cars around
Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out
Van and do a little settlin’ down
Aw, but I’m just dreamin’, I ain’t got no ride
And the junkyard’s a pretty good ways
That job’s about a half week old besides
It’d be gone now anyway

Unemployment said I got no more checks
And they showed me to the hall
My brother died in georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn’t bad below the bridge
A little short on food that’s all
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat
We’re headed down into fall

I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
Hustled up a little dough
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
A couple of months ago
They got my harp and they got my dollar
Them low life so and so’s
Harps cost money and I ain’t got it
It’s my own fault I suppose

The pocono’s down but the chesapeak’s runnin’
Two freights everyday
If it was just me I’d be headed south
But marie can’t catch no train
She’s got some pain and she thinks it’s a baby,
Says we gotta wait and see
In my heart I know it’s a little boy
Hope he don’t end up like me

Well, the man’s still grinnin’ says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, it’s getting kinda cold
I’m feelin’ too low down to lie
I guess I’ll just tell marie the truth
Hope she don’t break down and cry

Marie she didn’t wake up this morning
She didn’t even try
She just rolled over and went to heaven
My little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody’d find them
Caught a chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I’m headed south
So’s to meet me by and by

Marie will know I’m headed south
So to meet me by and by

38. "Deportees (Plane wreck at Los Gatos)" by Woodie Guthrie

The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"

My father's own father, he waded that river,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees,
And they rode the truck till they took down and died.

Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted,
Our work contract's out and we have to move on;
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border,
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.

We died in your hills, we died in your deserts,
We died in your valleys and died on your plains.
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees"

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?

[Trigger Hippie]
