American Old Time Song Lyrics: 21 Saving It All For Mary

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 21

SAVING- IT ALL FOR MARY.
Tune- "Gathering the Myrtle with Mary."

You wonder why I am happy,
You I will tell;
I am about to marry
A charming little belle;
I'm saving all my money,
I never spend a cent,
I will give it all to Mary
So she may pay the rent.

Chorus.
I am saving it all for Mary,
She will have every one,
I am saving it all for Mary,
Oh! what lots of fun;
When we are married I will be the boss,
Or make it hot for Mary.

I was never known to quarrel,
I was never known to kick,
Neither did I hit
My neighbor with a brick;
I was never known to right,
I never came to blows,
I never was known to smash
Another fellow's nose.-Chorus.
