MEN AT WORK - Maria lyrics

rate me

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

Sh had sons to her man

Maria grew sad as the years passed

She did not understand

You must believe me

Though its 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

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

Oh Maria dry your eyes
