I'm after the lyrics to Mari Mack - recorded by a variety of English and american folkys.

Any ideas?

Ash (and oak and thorn if they are "listening")*grin*

Mary Mack is in the DT database. Put "Mary Mack" (without the quotes) into the search box in the upper right corner of the screen and click the search button. It should bring up the selction.

I actually found it but searching on [marry me] (WITH the square brackets which mean treat this as a phrase) - as I wasn't sure of the spelling....

I seem to recall a couple discussions regarding this on the forum, you could try the forum search for "Mary"

Sprout, Have you heard the version from the Newfoundland band Great Big Sea? It's very good and gets very fast. It seems to have yet new twists of verses that are not on the DT printout. I have yet to figure them all out. Good Luck It's a great song! This band GBS also have some other great trad. singalongs. Beer and Rum based. Good luck! Tom
