Traditional Scottish folk song
Preformed by The Minstrels of Mayhem and recorded on Blue upon Blue upon Blue

There's a nice wee lass and her name is Mary Mack
Make no mistake, she's the miss I can attract
There's a lot of other chaps who would get up on her track
But I'm thinking they'll have to get up early.

Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' to marry Mary to get married an' take care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack

This wee lass she has a lot of brass
She has a lot of gas, her father thinks I'm class
And I'd be a silly ass to let the matter pass
For her father thinks she suits me fairly.
Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' to marry Mary to get married an' take care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack

Now Mary and her mother go an awful lot together
In fact you never see the one, or the one without the other
And the fellow often wonder if its Mary or her mother
Or the both of them together that I'm courting.
Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' to marry Mary to get married an' take care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack

Now the wedding day's on Wednesday and everything's arranged
Her name will soon be changed to mine, unless her mind be changed
And we makin' the arrangements, faith, I'm just about deranged
For marriage is an awful undertaking.
Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' to marry Mary to get married an' take care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack

It's sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair
A coach and pair for rich and poor and every pair that's there
We'll dine upon the finest fare, I'm sure to get my share
If I don't we'll all be very much mistaken.
Mary Mack's father's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My father's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' to marry Mary to get married an' take care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack
