All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside,
sifting sand Oh Marianne,
oh Marianne,
won't you marry
me?
We can settle somewhere,
have some brandy in our tea
We'll go by my mama's home,
she'll never will say yes
If mama don't know now,
oh she can guess for Marianne
All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Oh when we marry we will have the
time you ever saw I would be so happy,
I'd kiss my
mother-in-law All the little children coming in the bamboo
hut One for every pound three,
a coconut for Marianne
All day,
all night,
Marianne Down by the seaside,
sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside,
sifting sand
On Indy line is the Yankee dollar bill
On Indy line is the Yankee dollar bill
With the big big bamboo bamboo Oh la la la
la la la la Working for the Yankee dollar
When I ask my lady what should I do
To make her happy and make love true
She said the only thing that I want from you
Is a little little piece of the big bamboo
With the big big bamboo bamboo Oh la la la

When I gave my lady a sugar cane Sweet of the sweet,
so did I explain
She gave it back to my surprise She liked the flavor but not the size
With the big big bamboo bamboo Oh la la la
la la la la Working for the Yankee dollar

Lelo di damur, take a song to my lover,
shoo shoo little bird,
go and find my love
Lelo di damur, serenade at her window,
shoo shoo little bird, sing my song of love
Oh tell her I will wait,
if she names the date,
tell her that I care,
more than I can bear
Oh when we are apart,
how it hurts my heart,
so fly fly away,
and say I hope and pray
This lover's melody,
will bring her back to me
Woe
is me,
shame and scandal in the family
In pleading that there was a family,
with much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown,
who wanted to marry and have wife of his own
He found a girl, who's suiting him nice,
he went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said son,
I have to say no,
this girl is your sister but your mama don't know
Woe
is me,
shame and scandal in the family,
the week went by and the summer came down
And soon the best cook in the island he found,
he went to his papa,
his papa said no
This girl is your sister but your mama don't know
Woe
is me,
shame and scandal in the family

Yellow bird,
up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Eat your lady friend, leave the nest again
That is very sad,
make me feel so bad You can fly away,
in the sky away
You're more lucky than me I also have a pretty girl
She not with me today They all the same,
these pretty girls
They leave the nest and they fly away
Yellow bird,
up high in banana tree Yellow bird,
you sit all alone like me
Eat your lady friend,
leave the nest again That is very sad,
make me feel so bad
You can fly away,
in the sky away You're more lucky than me
I wonder why nobody don't like me Or is it the fact that I'm ugly
I wonder why nobody don't like me Or is it the fact that I'm ugly
I leave my whole house and go My children don't want me no more
Bad talk inside the house they bring
And when I talk they start to sing
Mama look a boo boo,
they shout Their mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is your daddy, oh no My daddy can be ugly
So shut your mouth, go away Mama look a boo boo
Shut your mouth, go away Mama look a boo boo
