Tony Christie - Is this the way to Amarillo 1971
When the day is dawning
On 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 Amarillo
And 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.
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
Hear the song of joy that is singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the high way
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 Amarillo
And 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.
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
And Marie who waits for me
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala
And Marie who waits for me
Shalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalala

God he's beautiful

Song from my childhood

@SPOOKSTR I was just thinking, Maria was obviously his girl who was killed by some dude that Tony Christie ended up killing for her? I mean he did what he did for Maria according to him...
-
was that an audience, or a group of disgruntled layabouts in an NHS waiting room?
-
Ya know he eventually killed Maria.....
-
Something about Tony Christie his songs ansd his style -and I was never into Pop Music as opposed to Rock & Jazz, but there is lot of Joy in his songs.
Amarillo & Yellow River were just plain great songs!
Pity he got rid of his band -then it was him going solo.
I do like to see Christie on the Video playing Yellow River with his Band around the time he started. It's around here somewhere.
-
What programme is this?
-
thought he was the great Tom Jones for a while. Good song and voice..
-
Great stage for 1971!
