“Poor Mary sits a-weeping.”
Poor Mary is weeping, is weeping, is weeping,
Poor Mary is weeping on a bright summer’s day.
Pray tell me what you’re weeping for, weeping for, weeping for,
Pray tell me what you’re weeping for, on a bright summer’s day?
I’m weeping for my true love, my true love, my true love,
I’m weeping for my true love, on a bright summer’s day.
Stand up and choose your lover, your lover, your lover,
Stand up and choose your lover, on a bright summer’s day.
Go to church with your lover, your lover, your lover,
Go to church with your lover, on a bright summer’s day.
Be happy in a ring, love; a ring, love; a ring, love.
Kiss both together, love, on this bright summer’s day.
