Marmalade - Wait For Me Mary-Anne Lyrics
Hey!
There's a small town lyin' by the river
Halfway to nowhere
Where the trains just stop to take on water
She ain't, got jewels, she don't, have money
But she makes my whole world sunny
Wears, no make-up, on her face
But where she is, well that's my place
And I'm going home to my girl
Wait for me Mary-Anne
Please stay free Mary-Anne
I'm comin' home girl, just as soon as I can (my my my Mary-Anne)
You will see Mary-Anne
With I was born, to be your true lovin' man (my my my Mary-Anne)
In the city life gets awful lonely
For a boy making good
And it's hard to keep your sense of values
And to do things you should
Girls, come easy, try, to make you
Just as soon they'll try to break you
When, the city, fills, my eyes
Then I remember summer skies
Then dream of the place I belong
Wait for me Mary-Anne
Please stay free Mary-Anne
I'm comin' home girl, just as soon as I can (my my my Mary-Anne)
Wait for me Mary-Anne
You will see Mary-Anne
That I was born to be your true lovin' man (my my my Mary-Anne)
Wait for me Mary-Anne (my my my Mary-Anne)
Please stay free Mary-Anne (my my my Mary-Anne)
I'm comin' home girl just as soon as I can (my my my Mary-Anne)
Wait for me...

Marmalade Wait For Me Mary-Anne Comments
Not much to say about Marmalade but brilliant! Love em!
Just on sound alone, are we sure these guys aren't the Grass Roots? Has anyone seen the two bands in the same room at the same time? ;- )
Dear Dean Ford. so sad that he has passed at the age of 72, it was too soon . Such a great voice. Marmalade were under rated.
Sue Richardson my favkrite song is glasgow road and im american.
i read that glasgow road is in scottland?
dean rip you will always be remembered ,,what a fab bloke ,great voice and song writer,,,best harmonies long live marmalade lol you will be missed x
Dean Ford RIP
Those horns sound like 'Artificial Energy'.....I love that full sound with the harmonies.......and the rolling drums.............you can imagine hearing this on the radio getting ready for school or work in 1968
Roller skates, trolleys, skipping, hopscotch, tin tan tommy. I remember those days in black and white, but they were full of colour.
RIP Dean Ford.
Just heard that Dean Ford died today, 2nd January 2019. His music lives on.
Sad times David. The musicians of those days are now (like us all) are getting older. Am so glad that the music lives on to be the legacy of singers like Dean, who provided us with some exquisite harmonies.
my 'new' favourite. i was always a big Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich fan and no wonder i love this tune .... same writers as all their hits
Wonderful dean could really chant very underrated song from the boys
They were a great pop group,with fab songs like this,never tire of hearing their records.
Memories!! Love it!!!!
45rpmSINGLES .........
JOINING THE 1960s WITH THE 1970 IS ..........
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
BY NOW, WHY NOT ALSO PUT 1967, AFTER ALL IS ALSO 1960s ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
fantastic remember well
Me too Stephen - great memories from a frighteningly long time ago!
Wonderful song! one of the best
great song love this
Should have been huge.
junior Campbell went on to write the Thomas the tank engine theme and made his millions
I never knew that!!!
Great tune from a better time in life
Alguém tem noticias de Deam Ford ?
Marmalade was the best band of their age.
Very 1968 sound and the harmonies are there. Reminds me of Belle Vue, Saturday nights. I didn't particularly like Marmalade in those days but recently saw this on one of the repeats of Top of the pops or Old Grey Whistle Tests that they have on TV. Shortly afterwards, Junior Campbell broke away with "Haleluah Freedom", I think. Still, happy days looking back.
nice to hear this music out my younger time
Hail to the Chorus!!!!
Dean Ford is currently recording a new cd, you can find him at

It's nice to hear the original version of this song love it thanks
Saw them in 1969 on the Gene Pitney package tour which included Joe Cocker
I also saw that tour and it was brilliant.
always liked marmalade,i thought they were underated amongst stiff opposition those days.
I thought so dyan
They were Scots
real Englishmen.
...sorry..Scotish...sorry
@สมประสงค์ ช่างสมบุญ Thanks!That is ok! lol
Lovely British conversation. Well done 😁😇😁
Scottish actually.ha ha!
@Marian power ✌
still dreaming
I was a megga fan!
I'd never have known. I listened a few times but NO! I would never have picked it up. Mike Smith, Mike Ross. Real masters.
great voice
if there's an edit,i sure can't hear it unless its near the end(arpund 3;02),but its pretty damn seamless.and without protools!!!
ron kwasman
The Music of this era was awesome! Love the clothes from the 60'sand 70's! I had a liesure suit for my high school graduation! LOL
Everlasting Love was fantastic, great shame they didnt record it they would have done a great job. Agreed, Ob La Di had to be up there with one of the worst songs ever, but this one and Baby Make it soon was great, its inspired me to find and buy an old copy.. CD of course
My first single was Lovin' Things! In the history of British groups, Marmalade are unfairly overlooked, with power pop, folk rock and even psych! Drummer Alan Whitehead was the only Englishman in the line up, after replacing Raymie Duffy.
Kiitos ! Eipä näitä pop helmiä enää kuule. Kuuluu tuon ajan lemppareihini !!!
Fantastic song. This band knew how to do it just right. I loved the diversity of their music as much as I loved their performances.
Now THAT'S what I CALL a key change!!
Marmalade what a Group this 60s Music style was always played at the local Ice Rink and we would chase the Birds around all day with our Mod Gear on Great Days Aye.
Please join the Marmalade Dean Ford - Singer Songwriter Facebook Group. Band members participate . Thanks!
i married my wife when this song came out still love d song and my wife
@Wigglingwench45 Same here! I was born in 1964 and too young to take it in consciously. I am rediscovering this stuff through my 13-year old daughter. These bands were very good...
Falling Deeply for this great band ! Just discovering them :( 40 years too late ! Well I was a baby in their heyday..I'm huge Beatles fan..Their version of Ob La Di is fine imo. The Beatles will ALWAYS be best but every now and again a band does a great cover..they did one ! This a fun band. Dean Ford=FOXXXY
Lead singer - Dean Ford; Lead guitar (lefty and upside down stringing!) - Junior Campbell; Drummer - Alan Whitehead; Bass - Graham Knight; Rhythm guitar and occasional 6-string bass - Pat Fairley.
They are from Scotland, and were originally known as Dean Ford and the Gaylords.
tubbychubby1 - you asked for any info - they have a facebook page, look for "Marmalade - Dean Ford".
Me personally, I think their harmonies are as good as The Beatles/Hollies/Bee Gees! :-)
Hi great band, can anyone give the names of the members and what they doing now, or any info,....cheers
Now THAT'S a key change!"
The original
How clearly I remember buying this single. 40 years on, what a truly fantastic example this is of the perfect pop song.If the great Deity in the heavens grants me immortality, I'll still be listening to this in another 40 years!
Never heard of this band until today. I don't think they ever made it in the US, although it was a little before my time. This is an excellent single. Sounds great.
Marmalade had made the earlier mistake
( at the end of 1967 ) of rejecting `Everlasting Love` as they said it was too pop orientated . It was then recorded by Love Affair and hit #1 in the UK early in 1968. Then later in 1968 they recorded Ob La Di !!
It got to No. 30 in the UK charts, entering the charts on 23 October 1968 and remained in the charts for 5 weeks. I always thought it had done better. A great 60s pop song!
Should have been at least top 10!
In my own personal charts at the time it was number one, of course :)
super song,should have got higher in the charts
