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)
|
