Mary Mack


 

Traditional

I know a girl and her name is Mary Mack.
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna' track.
Lots of other fellas like to get her on her back,
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early.

Chorus:
Mary Mack's mother's makin' Mary Mack marry me.
My mother's makin' me marry Mary Mack.
I'm gonna marry Mary 'cuz me Mary's takin care of me.
We'll all be makin merry when I marry Mary Mack.
Yum deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle dum!

This little lass she's got a lot of cash,
she's got a lot of brass and her father thinks I'm class.
I'd be a silly ass if I let the matter pass,
For me mother thinks she suits me very fairly.

(chorus)

Mary and her mother go an awful lot together.
In fact, you hardly ever see the one without the other.
And all the fellas wonder if it's Mary or her mother
Or the both of them together that I'm courting!

(chorus)

The wedding's on a Wednesday and everthing's arranged,
And her name will soon be changed to mine
Unless her mind has changed.
From making the arrangements I'm just about deranged,
For a wedding is an awful undertaking.

(chorus)

It's gonna be a grand affair, grander than a faire.
There's gonna be a coach and pair for every pair that's there.
We'll dine upon the finest fare I'm sure to get my share,
And if I don't I'm sure I'm very much mistakin'!

(chorus x 2) Hey!
