make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track |
|
a lot of other falla's tryin'to get her on her back |
|
but I think they'll have to get up early |

|
my mother's making me marry Mary Mack |
|
Well,I'm gonna marry Mary so my Mary's taking care of me |
|
we'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mack |
|
Now Mary and her mother gang an awful lot together |
|
in fact you hardly see the one without the other |
|
people often wonder is it Mary or her mother |
|
or both of them together I am courtin' |
|
Well, up among the heather in the hills of Benafy |
|
Well,I had a bonnie lass, merry me ! |
|
a bumble bee stung me right above the knee |
|
up among the heather in the hills of Benafy |
|
Well, I saw a bonnie lassie |
|
will you go and spend a day |
|
sittin'in the heather in the hills of Bonafy |
|
Where all the boys and girls are making out for free |
|
up among the heather in the hills of Benafy |
|
Now, the wedding's on a wednesday and everything's arranged |
|
her name will soon be changed to mine unless her mind be changed |
|
I'm making the arrangement, I'm feeling 'bout deranged |
|
marriage is an awful undertaking |
|
Sure to be granting it's a grand affair |
|
goin to be a forthnight if everyone is there |
|
And I'll be a buggar if I don'd give a share |
|
If I don't be very much mistaken |

|
And a lot of other fella's tryin'to get her on her back |
