#1. 
E                                           B 
Marianne, Oh, Marianne, Oh, won't you marry me? 
                                           E 
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea. 

Leave your fat old Mamma home, 
                   A 
She never will say yes. 
               E         B       E 
If Mamma don't know now, she can guess..my, my, yes. 

Chorus: 
E                   B 
All day, all night, Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand. 
                          B 
Even little children love Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand. 

#2. 
E 
When she walks along the shore, people  
         B 
pause to greet. 

While birds fly around her, little fish come 
       E 
to her feet. 
E                                             A 
In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man, 
A                E       B     E 
who's allowed to kiss my Mari..anne.. 

Don't rush me. 

Chorus: 
E                   B 
All day, all night, Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand. 
                          B 
Even little children love Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand. 

#3. 
E                                            B 
When we marry, we will have a time you never saw. 
                                             E 
I will be so happy, I will kiss my mother-in-law. 
                                             A 
Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut, 
              E          B       E 
one for every palm tree, and coconut..hurry up now. 

Chorus: 
E                   B 
All day, all night, Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand. 
                          B 
Even little children love Marianne. 
                    E 
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
