Mary Mack Song Lyrics And Chords

(A Lively Traditional two-chord folk song) Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy [ lyrics ] played this song in C minor, using a capo on the 4th fret. The sheet music notes are included.

Chorus 
Mary (Am)Mac's father's making Mary Mac marry me 
My (G)father's making me marry Mary Mac 
And (Am)I'm going to marry Mary to get married and take (G)care of me 
We'll (Am)all be making merry when I (G)marry Mary (Am)Mac

 There's a (Am)nice wee lass and her name's Mary Mac 
Make (G)no mistake, she's the miss I'm going to take 
There's a (Am)lot of other chaps that would get up on her (G)track 
But I'm (Am)thinking that they'd have to get up (G)ear(Am)ly.

Chorus

Now (Am)this wee lass she has a lot of brass 
She (G)has a lot of gas and her father thinks I'm class 
So I'd (Am)be a silly ass to let the matter (G)pass 
Her (Am)father thinks she suits me (G)fair(Am)ly

Chorus

Now (Am)Mary and her Mither gain an awful lot together 
In (G)fact you never see the one or the one without the other 
And the (Am)fellows often wonder if it's Mary or her (G)mither 
Or the (Am)both of them together that I'm (G)cour(Am)tin'

Chorus

Now the (Am)wedding day's on Wednesday and everything's arranged 
Her (G)name will soon be changed to mine unless her mind be changed 
And we're (Am)making the arrangements and I'm just a bit de(G)ranged 
For (Am)marriage is an awful under(G)ta(Am)kin'

Chorus

It's (Am)sure to be a grand affair [ lyrics ] and grander than a fair 
There's (G)going to be a coach and pair for every couple there 
We'll (Am)dine upon the finest fare I'm sure to get my (G)share 
If I (Am)don't we'll all be very much mis(G)ta(Am)ken

Chorus
