Mary Mac

A very fun song. Versions done by both GBS and Carbon Leaf.

Lyrics: There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track Lots of other fellas try to get her on the back. But I'm thinkin' they'll have to get up early.

Chorus Mari-Macs mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac Well I'm gonna marry Mari cause Mari's takin' care o' me. We'll all be feelin' marry when I marry Mari-Mac.

Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together In fact you hardly see the one without the other And people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother Or both of them together I'm courting

(chorus)

Well up among the heather in the hills of Benafee Well I had a Bonnie lass sittin' on my knee A bumble bee stung me right above the knee Up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

(chorus)

Well I said to bonnie lass how we gonna pass the day She said among the heather in the hills of Benafee Where all the boys and girls are making out so free Up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

(chorus)

Wedding's on a Wednesday, everything's arranged Soon you'll never change your mind unless you minus change Of making the arrangements and feelings lots of rage Marriage is an awful undertaking

(chorus)

Sure to be a grand for grand of that a fair Gonna be a fork and plate for every man thats there And I'll be a bugger if I don't get my share All though I may be very much mistaken

(chorus)

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track Lot's of other fellas try to get her on her back But I think they're gonna have to get up early

(chorus)
