There's a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track Lot of other fellas want to get up on her back But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early
Chorus:
Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me My mother's making me marry Mary Mac Well I'm going to marry Mary for when Mary's taking care of me We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac
This wee little lass she has a lot of class She has a lot of brass and her mother thinks I'm gas I think she's an ass to let the matter pass But 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.
