Lyrics

There's a wee little lass and her name is mary mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lots of other fellas wanna' get up on her back
But I think they're gonna' have to get up early

Chorus:
Mary mac's mother's makin' mary mac marry me!
My mother's makin' me marry mary mac!
Well I'm gonna marry mary for when mary's takin' care o' me
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry mary mac!
Kaiyut-little-ottle-eetle-ottle-eetle-um!

Now this wee lass, she has a lot of class
She has a lot of brass and her mother thinks I'm a gas
So I'd be a silly ass if I let the matter pass
For my mother thinks she suits me rather fairly

Chorus..

Now mary and her mother gang an awful lot together
In fact you hardly see the one or the one without the other
And the lads often wonder if it's mary or her mother
Or the both of them together that I'm courtin'

Chorus..

I said, well bonnie lass, where you gonna spend the day?
She said, among the heather and the hills of banoffee
Where all the boys and girls are makin' it for free
Up among the heather and the hills of banoffee

Chorus..

The wedding's on wednesday. everything's arranged
Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind be changed
We're makin' the arrangements and I'm just a bit deranged
For marriage is an awful undertakin'

Chorus..

It's sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair
There's gonna be a coach and pair for every couple 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

Chorus..

There's a wee little lass and her name is mary mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lots of other fellas tryin' to get up on her back
But I think they're gonna have to get up early

Chorus..
