lyrics

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early

Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together In fact you hardly see the one without the other And people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother
Or both of them together I am courting

Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me My mother's making me marry Mari Mac Well I'm going to marry Mari for my Mari's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac

Well up among the heather in the hills of Benifee
Well I had a bonnie lass sitting on me knee
A bumble bee stung me right above me knee
Up among the heather in the hills of Benifee

The wedding's on Wednesday, everything's arranged
Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind be changed
And making the arrangements, I 'm just a bit deranged
Marriage is an awful undertaking

Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me
My mother's making me marry Mari Mac
Well I'm going to marry Mari for my Mari's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac

Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
Going to be a fork and plate for every man that's there
And you know I'll be a bugger if I don't get my share
If I don't we'll be very much mistaken

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot of other fellas try to get up on her back
I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early

Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me
My mother's making me marry Mari Mac
Well I'm going to marry Mari for my Mari's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac
