Marianne, you always said we were two sinners On the long, long road to hell Well, Marianne, there was times when you put me through there But I made it just as well Marianne will still look good when she's older Marianne will still look good when we're through Marianne - no one could ever hold her Don't tell me my love ain't true Marianne, my choice is you Marianne, you left me when I had nothing But the memory of when you cared Well, Marianne, sometimes at night I get bitter But I come back not even scared Marianne will still look good when she's older Marianne will still look good when we're through Marianne - no one could ever hold her After all you put me though Marianne, my choice is you And you ask me how I made it through the ocean you gave me Well I did what I could do Marianne, you always said we'd be together Sometime after we both passed away Well, Marianne, the thing is that I'm not leaving Not until the Judgment Day No, mama, I'm here to stay! Marianne will still look good when she's older Marianne will still look good when we're through Marianne - my ring could never hold her After all you put me through Marianne my choice is you I've wasted half my life, it's true But, Marianne, my choice is you
