Song: Mari-mac Tab
INTRO: (G) (A) (Em) (X4)
(Em)There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
(D)Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
(Em)Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back
But I'm (G)thinking that they'll (A)have to get up (Em)early
CHORUS:
(Em)Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me
(D/Stop)My mother's making me marry Mari Mac
(Em)Well I'm going to marry Mari for when Mari's taking care of me
We'll (G)all be feeling (A)merry when I (Em)marry Mari Mac
(G) (A) (Em)
(G) (A) (Em)
(G) (A) (Em)
(Em)Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together
(D)In fact you hardly see the one without the other
(Em)And people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother
Or (G)both of them to(A)gether I am (Em)courting
CHORUS
(Em)Well up among the heather in the hills of Bonifee
(D)Well I had a bonnie lass sitting on me knee
(Em)A bumble bee stung me right above me knee
(G)Up among the (A)heather in the (Em)hills of Benifee
CHORUS
(Em)Well I said "Wee bonnie lassie, where you going to spend the day?"
(D)She said "Among the heather in the hills of Benifee"
(Em)Where all the boys and girls are making out so free
(G)Up among the (A)heather in the (Em)hills of Benifee
CHORUS
(Em)The wedding's on Wednesday, everything's arranged
(D)Soon her name will be changed to mine unless her mind be changed
(Em)And making the arrangements, I'm feeling quite deranged
(G)Marriage is an (A)awful under(Em)taking
CHORUS
(Em)Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
(D)Going to be a fork and plate for every man that's there
(Em)And I'll be a bugger if I don't get my share
If I (G)don't we'll be (A)very much mis(Em)taken
CHORUS
(Em)There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
(D)Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
(Em)Lot of other fellas try to get up on her back
I'm (G)thinking that they'll (A)have to get up (Em)early
