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
