GAEm
INTRO: (X4)
Em
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac

Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back
GAEm
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up 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
GAEm
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac
GAEmGAEmGAEmEm
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
GAEm
Or both of them together I am 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
GAEm
Up among the heather in the 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
GAEm
Up among the heather in the 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
GAEm
Marriage is an awful undertaking
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
GAEm
If I don't we'll be very much mistaken
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
GAEm
I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early
