About This Song


It's about a guy who is a vagabond and who has traveled the world, thinking he was immune to the trappings of romance and falling in love - until he met a girl in St. Marie Michigan. Oh, well!!

The Woman From St. Marie

Written by Rick Gwinn

The Woman From St. Marie

I’m a drifter, alone in the world, steering a ship of my own
The stars are my ceiling, the ground is my floor,
The highways and byways my home
I’ve seen a lot of places, I been most everywhere, I’m proud to be out on my own
Don’t need nobody to tie me down, I’m happy to do it alone
I Don’t need nobody to tie me down, I’m happy to do it alone

I tried to avoid those relationships that get mushy and so hard to break
A one night stand, is all I need, I don’t find that too hard to take
And, when a woman is getting to me, I can usually read in her eyes
But, the woman I met back in St. Marie, took me totally by surprise
Yes, the woman I met back in St. Marie, took me totally by surprise

She was easy to love; how it happened, I can’t understand
Warm and tender, she took care of me; and accepted me just as I am

We spent a week, together, in love, at the Blue Lantern Bar and Motel
The feeling ‘was good, Too good to be true, I knew I had finally fell
I was gettin’ cold feet, I’d been burned before, I didn’t know quite how to say
I love you my woman from St. Marie, but I’ve got to be on my way
I love you my woman from St. Marie, but I’ve got to be on my way

She was easy to love; how it happened, I can’t understand
Warm and tender, she took care of me; and accepted me just as I am
Yes, so easy to love; how it happened, it wasn’t the plan
Warm and tender, she took care of me; and she knew how to make me a man
Warm and tender, she came on to me; ah, she knew how to make me a man
