| Scots' Music |
| Mary Macks Mother |
| A simple brief thought on Scottish Independance. Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it? There are only so many slices to a pie, for one to have more, another must have less. Lastly - to those Scottish "Loyalists" - to whom are you loyal? Scots royalty died in the 1700's so it can be no Scots crown - And certainly not it appears to those who came before, that bled for Scotland and her freedom ! |
| In the words |
| Mary Mack's mither's makin' Mary Mack marry me My mither's makin' me marry Mary Mack I'm gonna marry Mary, Mary will tak' care of me We'll a' be makin' merry when I marry Mary Mack Och, a braw wee lass and her name is Mary Mack And mak' nae mistake, she's the lass I'm gonna tak' There's a lot of other lads would like to get upon her track But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to be up early Noo the weddin' day's on Wednesday and everything's arranged Her name will soon be changed tae mine unless her min' be changed An' wi' makin' the arrangements, faith, I'm just aboot deranged For marriage is an awfu' undertakin' It's sure to be a grand affair, grander than the fair There's sure to be a lot of fun, I'm sure tae get my share There's sure to be a coach and pair for every pair that's there And if there's no' I'm very much mistaken Noo Mary and her mither's gae'n an awfu' time taegither And you very seldom see then the one withoot the other And the boys often wonder if it's Mary or her mither Or the baith o' them taegither that I'm courtin' |
