(Marie’s The Name) His Latest Flame (Elvis Presley) - STING 21202   (Paul Bristow)  

 

(Opener and Closer): circle left

A very old friend – came by today…
'cause he was telling everyone in town, about the love that he just found

LEFT Allemande and do a do sa do – Allemande Left and Weave The Ring
He talked and talked and I heard him say

That she had the longest blackest hair - Swing and Promenade the square
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

(Figure): HEAD two COUPLES PROMENADE go halfway – Come down the middle and PASS THE OCEAN then

Centres RECYCLE – PASS THRU and SWING THRU – then the BOYS RUN to the RIGHT – BOYS CIRCULATE

 and the GIRLS you TRADE – HALF TAG and go – SCOOTBACK across and then your Corner SWING

     – PROMENADE go ‘round the ring

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

(Middle Break): circle left

Would you believe that yesterday …

This girl was in my arms and swore to me, she'd be mine eternally

LEFT ALLEMANDE and do a DO SA DO – MEN STAR LEFT one time and go –  – TURN YOUR PARTNER RIGHT

 – LEFT ALLEMANDE come back and PROMENADE – walk that Girl back home I say
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 


(Tag):
And Marie's the name of his latest flame – Swing your girl one time and then

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

A very old friend came by today
'cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry


Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
