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:
