[Verse 1] There’s a dear wee girl named Mary / She lives in Ballycarry; / The thought of her goes with me like a song! / I wish you saw the look of her / Faith I could write a book of her / Her photo is my mascot as we go marching on! [Chorus] She’s witty and she’s pretty and she’s dainty as a fairy; / She’s turned the heads of all the boys in dear old Ballycarry! / But the thing that matters most / Though they say one should not boast / Is I think she fancies me, does dear wee Mary!...
