Le Veglie di Siena, overo i varii humori della musica moderna: Fate silentio

歌詞

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track Lot of other fellas want to get up on her back But I think they're gonna have to get up early Chorus: Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me My mother's making me marry Mary Mac Well I'm going to marry Mary for when Mary's taking care of me We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac Kaiyut-little-ottle-eetle-ottle- eetle-um This wee little lass she has a lot of class She has a lot of brass and her mother thinks I'm gas I be a silly ass if I let the matter pass But her mother thinks she suits me rather fairly Now Mary and her mother gang an awful lot together In fact you hardly see the one without the other And the lads often wonder if it's Mary or her mother Or the both of them together that I'm courtin' I said, well bonnie lass, where you gonna spend the day? She said, among the heather and the hills of Banoffee, Where all the boys and girls are makin' it for free, Up among the heather and the hills of Banoffee The wedding's on Wednesday, everything's arranged Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind be changed I'm makin' the arrangements and I feel a bit deranged For marriage is an awful undertakin' It's sure to be a grand affair and grander than a fair There's gonna be a coach and pair for every couple there We'll dine upon the finest fare, I'm sure to get my share If I don't I'm very much mistaken There's a wee little lass and her name is Mary Mac Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track Lots of other fellas want to get up on her back But I think they're gonna have to get up early
