Oh Marianne, you went and lost your head Outside the gates, they found you dead You've been cut up, you've been cut down Your shoulders lost their precious crown Marianne, you've done it now Marianne Oh Marianne, who cut you down to size? Who slashed your throat, plucked out your pretty eyes? Who drew your blood straight from your heart? Who spelled your name on the ground with a cursive mark? Mariannne, you've done it now Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under Marianne Oh Marianne, you came up on the scene You sold your soul for the silver screen You got them marquee rose and you sang them marquee here Marianne, you knew the cost, it was a temporary fix Marianne, you've done it now Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under If you listen now and then, you'll hear her favourite tune whistlin' in the wind Oh Marianne, you reign for the highest speaks(?) the brightest streets Gonna be a star Beautiful voice, you're such a pretty thing Marianne, what good is a corpse if it cannot sing Marianne, you've done it now Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under If you listen now and then, you'll hear her favourite tune whistlin' in the wind
