Oh Marianne, Marianne, won't you marry me? We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in our tea Leave your fat old mama home, she never will say yeah If mother she do not know now, she'll make a guess All day, all night Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Oh, when she walks along the shore people pause to breathe Wild birds fly I don't know why, little fish come to her feet People fall in love but I'm a-lonely more than them I would like to see you my Marianne All day, all night Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand All day, all night Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand All day, all night Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand
