Mary Mac by Great Big Sea
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac,
And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track,
Lot's of other fellas tryin' to get her on her back,
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me,
My mother's makin' 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!
Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together,
In fact I hardly see one without the other,
And people often if it's Mari or her mother,
Or both of them together I'm courting!
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me,
My mother's makin' 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!
Well, up among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie,
Well, I had a bonnie lass sittin' on me knee,
A bumblebee stung be right upon me knee,
Up among the heather in the hills of Ben Afie.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me,
My mother's makin' 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!
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 makin' out so free,
