MY BEAUTIFUL SARIE MARAIS
(Michael Carr / Tommy Connor)

Anne Shelton (with Stanley Black & his Orchestra)


There’s never been another since the night I met
My beautiful Sarie Marais
No matter where I travel to I can’t forget
My beautiful Sarie Marais
Oh take me back
To the old Transvaal
That’s where I long to be
There’ll never be another with a smile so sweet
And next to my heart she will stay
I’m longing for the moment when my arms will greet
My beautiful Sarie Marais

One night I sailed away from Sable Bay
‘neath an African moon above
My heart will always yearn till I return
For I vowed I’d be true to my love

(Orchestral Interlude)

There’s never been another since the night I met
My beautiful Sarie Marais
No matter where I travel to I can’t forget
My beautiful Sarie Marais
Oh take me back
To the old Transvaal
That’s where I long to be
There’ll never be another with a smile so sweet
And next to my heart she will stay
I’m longing for the moment when my arms will greet
My beautiful Sarie Marais
