- Verse:
- My mother's name was Mary,
She was so good and true;
Because her name was Mary, She called me Mary too.
She wasn't gay or airy, But plain as she could be;
I'd hate to be contrary and call myself Marie.
- Chorus:
- For it is Mary, Mary, plain
as any name can be;
But with propriety, society will say Marie.
But it was Mary, Mary, long before the fashions came;
And there is something there that sounds so square, it's a grand
old name!
