| Lyrics: | MARIANNE
Terry Gilkyson
Marianne, Oh, Marianne, Oh won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea,
Leave your fat old Nanna home,
She
never will say yes.
If mamma don't know now,
She can guess, my, my, yes.
CHORUS:
All night, all day, Marianne,
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne,
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
When she
walks along the shore,
People pause to greet,
While birds fly around her,
Little fish come to her feet.
In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man,
Who's
allowed to kiss my Marianne,
Don't rush me.
(CHORUS)
When we
marry, we will have
A time you never saw,
I will be so happy,
I will kiss my
mother-in-law.
Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut,
One for every palm
tree, and cok-y-nut, Hurry up now.
(CHORUS |
