Marianina  Italian folk


  6   5  -6 -6    6   6  -5 -4  4
O’er the o-cean flies a mer-ry Fay

 -6   -5   -6   -6 -6 -6  6    5  4
Soft her wings are as a cloud of day

6   5    -6 -6  6   6   -5    -4   4
As she pass-es all the blue waves say

-6  -5 -6 -6 -6  -6   6
Ma-ria-ni-na do not roam

  6    6   -6  -6  6   6   -5
Whith-er whith-er is your home

 -5   -5   6  6  -5 -5   5
Come and turn us in-to foam

-6  -5 -6 -6 -6  -5 -6 -6
Ma-ria-ni-na ma-ria-ni-na

  6  6  -6   -6   6   6 -5 -4   4
Come O come and turn us in-to foam

  6   5    -6    -6   6  6  -5  -4  4
O’er the fields she pass-es to and fro

-6  -5  -6    -6     -6   -6  6  5  4
By the corn-stalks stand-ing row by row

 6   5    -6  -6   6   6   -5  -4 4
Pop-pies whis-per as they see her go

-6  -5 -6 -6  -6  -6   6
Ma-ria-ni-na lit-tle friend

  6  6   -6     -6   6   6     -5
With-er would your foot-steps wend

 -5   -5   6    6  -5 -5   5
Come and teach us how to bend


-6  -5 -6 -6 -6  -5 -6 -6
Ma-ria-ni-na ma-ria-ni-na

  6  6  -6   -6   6   6 -5 -4   4
Come O come and turn us in-to foam
