There's a wee little lass and her name's Mary Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track.
Lots of other fellas wanna' get up on her back,
but I think they're gonna' have to get up early.
Chorus
Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me.
My mother's making me marry Mary Mac.
Well, I'm going to marry Mary,
for when Mary's takin' care of me,
we'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mary Mac.
Now this wee lass, she has a lot of class.
She has a lot of brass and her mother thinks I'm gas.
I'd be a silly ass if I let the matter pass,
for my mother thinks she suits me rather fairly.
Chorus...
Now Mary and her mother are an awful lot together.
In fact you never see the one or the one without the other.
And the lads often wonder if it's Mary or her mother
or the both of them together that I'm courtin'.
Chorus...
I ???????? , that you could only spend a day,
she said (sat?) among the heather and the hills of ??????,
where all the boys and girls are makin' it for free,
all among the heather and the hills of ??????.
Chorus...
The wedding's on Wednesday. Everything's arranged.
Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind be changed.
We're making the arrangements and I'm just a bit deranged.
For marriage is an awful undertakin'.
Chorus...
It's sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair.
There's going to be a coach and pair for every couple there.
We'll dine upon the finest fare. I'm sure to get my share.
If I don't we'll all be very much mistaken.
Chorus...
Repeat first verse...
Chorus...
