I once knew a girl, Marie, and she was beautiful
She broke men's hearts just by passing by
Even the roughest guys in our town got weak knees
And many swore to her: My soul for you, Marie

She scorned the whole gang, no man ignited her passion
And if you met her parents, even they lost their courage
Big and strong, rich and smart, none were good enough for her

Oh, which one will you choose
Oh, where are you sleeping tonight, Marie
Oh, in whose arms do you want to stay
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight?

Where, where

A year went by, most gave up
They took the next beauty in the village out for a dance
When the music then played, and you'll never guess this
She didn't want to dance with anyone else but Marie

She scorned the whole gang, no man ignited her passion
And all the rough guys, their blood was boiling long ago
Big and strong, rich and smart, none were good enough for her

Oh, which one will you choose
Oh, where are you sleeping tonight, Marie
Oh, in whose arms do you want to stay
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight?

And she dances and she dances all night long
And she only listens to what her heart tells her
And she laughs when someone else comes and asks
Hey Marie, tell me, where are you sleeping tonight?
Yes, she dances, and she dances all night long
And she only listens to what her heart tells her
And she laughs when someone else comes and asks
Hey Marie, tell me, where are you sleeping tonight?

She scorned the whole gang, no man ignited her passion
And to find her happiness, she now needs all her courage
Big and strong, rich and smart, none were good enough for her

Oh, which one will you choose
Oh, where are you sleeping tonight, Marie
Oh, in whose arms do you want to stay
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight?

Oh, which one will you choose
Oh, where are you sleeping tonight, Marie
Oh, in whose arms do you want to stay
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight?

Where, where
Where, where
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight
Where, Marie, Marie, where are you sleeping tonight?
