Lyrics
- Oh, Marie, ‘neath the window I’m waiting
Oh, Marie, please don’t be so aggravating
Can’t you see my heart just yearns for you, dear
With fond affection, and love that’s true, dear?
Meet me while the Summer moon is beaming
For you and me the little stars are gleaming
Please come out tonight, my queen
Can’t you hear my mandolin?
Chorus
My sweet Marie from Sunny Italy
Oh, how I do love you
Say that you’ll love me, love me, too
Forever more I will be true
Just say the word and I will marry you
And then you’ll surely be
My sweet Marie from Sunny Italy
- Oh, Marie, I’ve been waiting so patiently
Oh, Marie, please come out and I shall happy be
Raise your window, love, and say you’re coming
The little birds, dear, are sweetly humming
Don’t say “No”, my sweet Italian Beauty
There’s not another maiden e’er could suit me
Come out, love, don’t be afraid
Listen to my serenade
