BONNE CHANCE MARIE
By Robert Priest and Allen Booth
One night in Paris
One bottle of wine
One Quebecois girl
From the plane and I
All night staggering over
Those cobblestone streets
I m suddenly speaking
Fluent French and I hear myself say
Chorus:
Bonne chance Marie
Wherever some day in the world you may be
Bonne chance Marie
I wish you smooth sailing
You were so good to me
Bonne chance Marie
Maybe it was Paris
Maybe it was the wine
But I said ‘must we be two solitudes tonight?’
Marie just shook her head
“Enfant.” she said
And kissed me once just to shut me up I guess
Chorus:
As I remember
You were headed for Spain
I was leaving in the morning on a train
I bid you ‘au revoir’
From Montmarte to the Seine
All night long we tried
We couldn’t say goodbye
So we said:
Bonne chance Marie
Wherever someday in the world you may be
Bonne chance Marie
I wish you smooth sailing
You were so good for me
Bonne chance Marie
Bonne chance Marie
