Lyrics and Makaton Sign Transcription:

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
When the day is dawning (SUNRISE)
On a Texas Sunday Morning (T / SUNDAY / MORNING)
How I long to be there (WANT / GO / THERE)
With Marie who's waiting for me there (MARIE / WAIT / ME)
Every lonely city (LONELY / TOWN)
Where i hang my hat (SLEEP)
Ain't as half as pretty (NO / GOOD)
As where my baby's at (PLACE / PARTNER)
Is this the way to Amarillo? (WAY [ROAD] / A + TOWN)
Every night I've been hugging my pillow (NIGHT / CUDDLE / PILLOW) *BSL sign for pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo (DREAM / A + TOWN)
And sweet Marie who waits for me (BEAUTIFUL / M / WAIT)
Show me the way to Amarillo (SHOW / WAY [ROAD] / A + TOWN)
I've been weeping like a willow (CRY)
Crying over Amarillo (CRY / A + TOWN)
And sweet Marie who waits for me (BEAUTIFUL / M / WAIT)

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
and Marie who waits for me (M / WAIT)
There's a church bell ringing (CHURCH BELL)
With a song of joy that its singing (HAPPY / NOISE)
For the sweet Maria (BEAUTIFUL / M)
And the guy who's coming to see her (MAN / COME / SEE)
Just beyond the highway (FAR / ROAD)
There's an open plain and it keeps me going (AREA / CONTINUE)
Through the wind and rain (WIND / RAIN)

Is this the way to Amarillo? (WAY [ROAD] / A + TOWN)
Every night I've been hugging my pillow (NIGHT / CUDDLE / PILLOW)
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo (DREAM / A + TOWN)
And sweet Marie who waits for me (BEAUTIFUL / M / WAIT)
Show me the way to Amarillo (SHOW / WAY [ROAD] / A + TOWN)
I've been weeping like a willow (CRY)
Crying over Amarillo (CRY / A + TOWN)
And sweet Marie who waits for me (BEAUTIFUL / M / WAIT)

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me (M / WAIT)
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me... (M / WAIT)
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
