歌词
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac
And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot's of other fellas tryin' to get her on her back
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together
In fact I hardly see one without the other
And people often if it's Mari or her mother
Or both of them together I'm courting!
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
Well, up among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie
Well, I had a bonnie lass sittin' on me knee
A bumblebee stung be right upon me knee
Up among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
Well, I said "me bonnie lass, where're y'gonna spend the day?"
She said "Among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie."
Where all the boys and girls are makin' out so free
All among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie!
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
Wedding's on a Wednesday everthing's arranged
Soon her name will be changed to mine unless her mind be changed
And making the arrangements, I'm feeling quite deranged
Marriage is an awful undertakin'!
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
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 we'll be very much mistaken.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac
And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot's of other fellas tryin' to get up on her back
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early.
