Lyr Req: Oh maryann so pure and grand I like you

I'm reading Ulysses, by James Joyce, and there is reference to this song which starts with: ' Oh Maryann so pure and strong I like you in your nighty'. I've done a lyric search but found nothing. Can anybody help me with my search?

Boy, I can't find it. Can you go back to the book and make sure you have the spelling and wording exactly correct?
The entire text of Ulysses is here (click), and I'm not finding anything like the phrase you're quoting.

"    —For old Mary Ann
    She doesn't care a damn.
    But, hising up her petticoats..."

That's all I've found.

Perhaps the OP would provide a page number?

The name is Mary Ann.

OK, so instead of a page number, how about a chapter?

Try " Oh darling Grace, I love your face, I love you in your nightie "
