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
