A traditional Scots song that is a particularly popular one of Tim’s selections.\u00a0 There’s a source that claims this song was composed by Tommy Makem, but I have no confirmation of this and all other sources point to the Scottish tradition.<\/p>\n

There’s a\u00a0little lass and her name is Mary Mack
\nMake no mistake, she’s the lass I’m gonna tak’
\nThere’s a lot of other chaps would follow in her track
\nBut I’m thinking that they’d have to get up early<\/p>\n
Chorus: Now this\u00a0little lass, she has a lot of brass Chorus<\/p>\n Now, Mary and her mother go an awful lot together Chorus<\/p>\n Now, the wedding day’s on Wednesday and everything’s arranged Chorus<\/p>\n It’s sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair Chorus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A traditional Scots song that is a particularly popular one of Tim’s selections.\u00a0 There’s a source that claims this song was composed by Tommy Makem, but I have no confirmation of this and all other sources point to the Scottish tradition.

\nMary Mack’s father’s making Mary Mack marry me<\/em><\/strong>
\n My father’s making me marry Mary Mack<\/em><\/strong>
\n I’m going to marry Mary for my Mary to take care o’ me<\/em><\/strong>
\n We’ll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mack<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nShe has a lot of gas, her father thinks I’m class
\nI’d be a silly ass for to let the matter pass
\nHer father thinks she suits me very fairly<\/p>\n
\nIn fact you hardly ever see the one without the other
\nThe people wonder whether it is Mary or her mother
\nOr the both of them together that I’m courting<\/p>\n
\nHer name will soon be changed to mine, unless her mind has changed
\nAnd with making the arrangements, well I’m just about deranged
\nFor marriage is an awful undertaking<\/p>\n
\nThere’ll be a coach and pair for rich and poor and every pair that’s there
\nWe’ll dine upon the finest fare, I’m sure to get my share
\nIf I don’t then I’ll be very much mistaken<\/p>\n
