Much modified version, but with guitar chords.

MARIAN

(A)All day all night Miss (B7)Mar-i-an
Down by the seaside (A)sift-ing sand
Even little children join in (E7)the band
(B7)Down by the seaside (A)sift-ing sand.

If you come to our (B7)Port of Spain you'll
never want to go (A)home a-gain-
(A7)You'd do ev-ery-thing (D)that you can-
(E7)Just to be with Miss (A)Mar-i-an-

Our island is so very fine,
Land of hummingbird and sunshine.
You'll agree it's so very nice,
Miss Marian make it Paradise.

All of the people come to the Carnival,
Go and join in the Bacchanal
Every islander, boy and man,
Want to see Miss Marian.

"Many native Trinidadians insist the original song referred to a woman of the streets and that the reference to "sifting sand" conveys the idea of a vast number of men with whom Miss Marian conducted business."
