There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
|
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
|
Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back
|
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me
|
My mother's making me marry Mari Mac
|
Well I'm going to marry Mari for when Mari's taking care of me
|
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac
|
|
Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together
|
In fact you hardly see the one without the other
|
And people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother
|
Or both of them together I am courting
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well up among the heather in the hills of Bonifee
|
Well I had a bonnie lass sitting on me knee
|
A bumble bee stung me right above me knee
|
Up among the heather in the hills of Benifee
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well I said "Wee bonnie lassie, where you going to spend the day?"
|
She said "Among the heather in the hills of Benifee"
|
Where all the boys and girls are making out so free
|
Up among the heather in the hills of Benifee
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
The wedding's on Wednesday, everything'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 undertaking
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
|
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
|
Lot of other fellas try to get up on her back
|
I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early
|
|
[Chorus]
