Mary Mac











                Em 
Verse 1:	There's a little lass and her name is Mary Mac 
		D                                            Em
		Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm goin' to track
		Em
		Lots of other fellows, they get upon her track
		        D                                   Em
		But I'm thinking that they'd have to get up early


		Em 
Chorus: 	Mary Mac's father's making Mary Mac marry me
		D                                Em         
		My father's making me marry Mary Mac
		Em
		Well, I'm gonna marry Mary for my Mary to take care of me
		      D                           Em
		We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac


Verse 2:	Well, this little lass, she has a lot of class
		Got a lot of brass and her father thinks I'm gas
		And I'd be a silly ass for to let the matter pass
		My father says she suits me really fairly

Chorus:	

Verse 3:	Mary and her mother go an awful lot together
		In fact you'd hardly ever see the one without the other
		And the people wonder whether it is Mary or her mother
		Or the both of them together that I'm courting

Chorus:

Verse 4:	The Wedding's on a Wednesday and everything's arranged
		Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind is changed
		And with making the arrangements I'm just about deranged
		Marriage is an awful undertaking

Chorus:

Verse 5:	Sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair
		There's goin' to be a coach and pair for every pair that's there
		We'll dine upon the finest fair I'm sure to get me share
		If I don't I'll be very much mistaken

Chorus:

Repeat Verse 1:

Chorus (2 or 3 times, getting faster)
