Mari-mac lyrics

Artist  : Great big sea 
Song : Mari-mac
 
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,
All 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!
Wedding's on a Wednesday everthing's arranged,
Soon her name will be changed to mine unless her
mind be changed,
And making the arrangements, I'm feeling quite
deranged,
Marriage is an awful undertakin'!
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!
Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair,
Going to be a fork and plate for every man that'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.
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!
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 up on her
back,
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up
early.
