Mary Mack There's a little lass and her name is Mary Mack Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm goin' to tak' Lots of other fellows, they get upon her track But I'm thinking that they'd have to get up early Chorus: Mary Mack's father's making Mary Mack marry me My father's making me marry Mary Mack Well, I'm gonna marry Mary for my Mary to take care of me We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mack Well, this little lass, she has a lot of class Got a lot of brass and her father thinks I'm gas And I'd be a silly ass for to let the matter pass My father says she suits me really fairly 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 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 Sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair There's goin' to be a coach and pair for every pair that's there We'll dine upon the finest fair I'm sure to get me share If I don't I'll be very much mistaken
