Lyrics
- Come on, Mary, what do you say
Come on, Mary, this is the day
We’ll hitch old Dobbin to the carriage
And celebrate your Mother’s marriage
Don’t be bashful, wedding time is here
Hurry up, hurry up, Mary dear
Chorus
Come on and do, do, do what your mother did
You know what she did for your dad
If you’ll do, do, do what your mother did
You’ll make me mighty glad
Oh, she took his heart, and she took his hand
She took him to the church and got a wedding band
Come on and do, do, do what your mother did
And I’ll do just the same as your dad
- Your ma made your father a man
Your ma took him right by the hand
She drew his bashful arm around her
She made him very glad he found her
Then she put her lips right up to his
Said to him, come again, here it is
