My Mary's A Fairy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
MY MARY'S A FAIRY. Copyright, 1898, by W. C. Dunn. Words by Wm. C. Dunn. Music by George Reichmann. 
My Mary lives in a little cot, at foot of a wooded hill, Where flowers' breath perfumes the air and feathered songsters trill. She waits each eve down by the gate, after my farm work's done; I count the hours and long,'all day, for setting of the sun; And then we stroll thro' shaded dells, my arm around sweet Mary, I'm happy only when with her, my charming little fairy. 
Chorus. My Mary's a fairy, light-hearted and airy. Her eyes sparkle brightly, her laugh rings with glee; She's spicy and witty, bewitchingly pretty, And dresses as neatly as you'd wish to see; That she loves me truly I know, yes, surely; And some day, quite soon, we married shall be. 
On Sundays we a-rambling go through leafy paths and lanes; I pick wild flowers and form of them sweet-scented floral chains; And these I bind about my love, a willing captive she, Whose merry laugh proclaims she has no wish to be set free; And then I kiss her lips so sweet, her blushes coming brightly. Of course, she can't resist, because her hands are bound so tightly.- Cho. 
Last year I bought, a little farm, and now it's all my own; I till the ground from morn till night, not for myself alone; For soon I'll bring my Mary there, to share its fruits with me; As man and wife we'll lead a life, from care and sorrow free; And if we're blessed with children dear, I know they'll be like Mary; Light-hearted, laughing, romping sprites, each one a little fairy - Chorus.
