Lyrics
Ana Maribel
Now it was just another night on the far side of the sea
Ana Maribel she come to me
With that long balck hair and them rippin? brown eyes
She gonna make you realize
Just what you been missin? with your woman back home
When she leave you all alone
And that?s just about the time you?ll cry out, ?Oh my Lord!?
You?re gonna cry out, ?Oh my Lord!?
Now that?s just about the time you?ll cry out, ?Ana Maribel!?
Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel??.
Now she wore a silk-tight shirt and them old jeans were stitched in lace
The first time I ever saw her face
Then she took me by the hand she lead me down to the sea
I said, ?there ain?t no place else I?d rather be!?
And that?s just about the time I cried out, ?Oh my Lord!?
Yes I cried out, ?Oh my Lord!?
Now that?s just about the time I cried out, ?Ana Maribel!?
Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel??.
Now it there should ever come a day where we should ever meet again
The Lord know I?ll never forget your?.
Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel??.
Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel, Ana Maribel??.
