Marjolaine by Jimmy James & The Candy Kanes
Columbia C4-2604 1958
Written by Francis Lemarque & Rudi Revill 1957
Marjolaine are you still true
Marjolaine i’ve come back to you
i went roaming the sailors sea
but now my arms are calling you to me
when i was young some years ago
you kissed my lips and let me know
that you would wait and love would stay
now that i’m here do you still feel that way
saxophone chorus
the trees are gone you’re street is bare
the carousels no longer there
our lovely plans are rearranged
but for the sky most everything has changed
Marjolaine no more my own
Marjolaine spring has quickly flown
I went roaming a sailors sea
and now your heart does not belong to me
that foggy night without a star
a strangers song a sad guitar
each sang of thee ?, someone i know
but i believe the starry words you know
