Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

(air: ‘Up among the heather’)
\nThere’s a nice wee lass and her name is Mary Mack
\nMake no mistake, she’s the lass I’m goin’ tae tak’
\nThere’s a lot of other chaps would follow in her track
\nBut I’m thinking that they’d have to get up early<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nMary Mack’s father’s making Mary Mack marry me
\nMy father’s making me marry Mary Mack
\nI’m going to marry Mary for my Mary to take care o’ me
\nWe’ll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mack
\nThis wee lass, she has a lot of brass
\nShe has a lot of gas, her father thinks I’m class
\nI’d be a silly ass for to let the matter pass
\nHer father thinks she suits me very fairly<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nNow, Mary and her mother go an awful lot together
\nIn fact you hardly ever see the one without the other
\nThe people wonder whether it is Mary or her mother
\nOr the both of them together that I’m courting<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nNow, the wedding day’s on Wednesday and everything’s arranged
\nHer name will soon be changed to mine, unless her mind has changed
\nAnd with making the arrangements, well I’m just about deranged
\nFor marriage is an awful undertaking<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nIt’s sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair
\nThere’ll be a coach and pair for rich and poor and every pair that’s there
\nWe’ll dine upon the finest fare, I’m sure to get my share
\nIf I don’t then I’ll be very much mistaken
\nChorus<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
