Terry Gilkyson And The Easy Riders - Marianne

Marianne

(CHORUS)
All night, all day, Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand

Marianne, Oh, Marianne
Oh, won't you marry me
We can have a bamboo hut
And brandy in the tea

Leave your fat old Mama home
She never will say yes
If mamma don't know now
She can guess, my, my, yes

(CHORUS)

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 me mother-in-law

Children by the dozen
In and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
And coconut, hurry up now

(CHORUS)
