|
Oi never thought much about females till, a month or two ago Oi found there was one of 'em noticing me, my mother told me so That damsel's name is Mary Ann, she winked at me one day Oi've told mother, and she's told me in a motherly kind of way. Chorus: Mary Ann she's after me, Full of love she seems to be My mother says it's plain to see She wants me for her young man Feyther says, 'If that be true, John, my boy, be thankful do There's one bigger fool in the world than you That's Mary Ann.' Whenever Oi see her, she looks at me, I don't know what to do I tries not to look at her looking at me, my mother told me to Last Sunday morning coming from church, she said, 'Oi'll walk your way.' We kept walking, Oi never said nowt, Oi'd a narrow escape that day. Chorus: Mary Ann she's after me, Full of love she seems to be My mother says it's plain to see She wants me for her young man Feyther says, 'If that be true, John, my boy, be thankful do There's one bigger fool in the world than you That's Mary Ann.' There's many a jolly young chap like me, as might be glad to know What dangerous animiles some gals is, my mother told me so We goes about like innercent lambs, we does no harm, Oi'm sure Up comes summat in frocks and curls, then there's never no peace no more Chorus: Mary Ann she's after me, Full of love she seems to be My mother says it's plain to see She wants me for her young man Feyther says, 'If that be true, John, my boy, be thankful do There's one bigger fool in the world than you That's Mary Ann.' |
