Mary Mac

1)  There’s a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac

Make no mistake she’s the girl I’m gonna to track

Lots of other fellas try to get her on her back,

But I’m thinkin’ that they’ll 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 gonna marry Mary for my Mary’s takin care of me

We’ll all be feeling merry, when I marry Mary Mac

 

2)  Now Mary and her mother go an awful lot together

In fact you’d hardly ever see the one without the other

And the people wonder whether it is Mary or her Mother

Or the both of them together that I’m courting.

Chorus:

 

3)  Well up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

Well I had a bonnie lass sitting on my knee

A bumble bee stung me right above the knee

Up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

Chorus:

 

4)  Well I said to bonnie lass how we gonna pass the day

She said among the heather in the hills of Benafee

When the boys and girls are naked as a fray

Up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

Chorus:

 

5)  The wedding’s on a Wednesday and everything’s arranged

Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind is changed

And with making the arrangements I’m just about deranged

Marriage is an awful undertaking

Chorus:

 

6)  Sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair

There’s going to be a fork and plate for every man that’s there

And I’ll be a bugger if I don’t get my share

If I don’t I’ll be very much mistaken

Chorus:

 

7)  There’s a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac

Make no mistake she’s the girl I’m gonna to track

Lots of other fellas try to get her on her back,

But I’m thinkin’ that they’ll have to get up early

Chorus:
