08 Dec 99 - 12:50 AM (#146403) Subject: Lyr/Creativity Req: More verses to Mairi From: emily rain I'm singing Mairi's Wedding as the recessional at a wedding on Sunday. I'm wondering if anyone has written extra verses to the song, or found extras that other folks have written. I want to leave out one of the originals, as this is a mature, second wedding, and the "plenty bonnie bairns as weel" line might elicit a few giggles. However, I'm worried we won't have enough verses for everyone to recess. OR is anyone inspired to write some (KATTHATMEANSYOUYOUBEAUTIFULWOMAN)? |

And, I'll bet someone else already has some extra verses they will post for you. Sounds like fun! luvyaKat |

I realise, however, that the wedding Emily is going to may not be quite the right occasion for it ... - Susanne |

About 20 years ago, my friends Robin and Kathy were getting married. I sang it Kathy's wedding of course. I had had a joke with Robin for many years. When I would see him, I would say in my best WC Fields voice "Ah a robin, the first sing of spring!" So at their wedding I sang "Now we see the sign of spring We see the Robin on the wing Let us all join hands and sing All for Kathy's wedding" Neither one of them noticed. |

Lots of good stuff from others! MY dawg's name is Merlyn, but he gets called Merlee for short. He's a border collie with no cojones.**BG** luvyaKat |
