Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac
And make no mistake, she's the girl I'm going to track
Lot's of other fellas try to get her on her back
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early
[Verse 2]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 3]
Now Mari and her mother are in awful lot together
In fact I hardly see the one without the other
And people often wondered if it's Mari or her mother
Or both of them together I am courting
[Verse 4]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 5]
Well up among the heather in the fields of Ben Afie
Well I had a bonnie lass sittin' on my knee
A bumble bee stung me right upon my knee
Up among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie
[Verse 6]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 7]
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 making out for free
All among the heather in the hill of Ben Afie
[Verse 8]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 9]
Wedding's on a Wednesday, everything's arranged
Soon her name will change to mind unless her mind is changed
And making the arrangements I'm feeling most deranged
Marriage is an awful under takin'
[Verse 10]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 11]
Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
Going to be a fork and plate for every man who'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
[Verse 12]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
[Verse 13]
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac
And make no mistake, she's the girl I'm going to track
Lot's of other fellas try to get her on her back
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early
[Verse 14]
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's making 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
