| 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) |
