This song started off about my friend Andy's mother, Mary and being in a long term relationship. I wrote it about 2007 when Andy's band WSS (see pic) were touring in Germany. I used to play this at one of the local sessions in Dresden and people kept adding funny lines at the end of the song (Voltz Brs) and some of them stuck "If she doesn't shave her legs, they get hairy, but I love my Mary".
lyrics
Mary
Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary
She wakes me up, in the middle of the night, Tells me that Im talkin shite , And she’s right
She always been, there for me, Im no sure what I would be, without her, I need
Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary
Sometime we’re no, getting along, but I know our love is strong, Yes I do
She always been, there for me, Im no sure what I would be, without her, I need
Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary, Ma Mary
Mary Mary Quite contrary , Don’t piss her off or she’ll get scary
If she does’ny shave her legs , They get hairy
She is lactose intolerant, She can’t drink dairy
When she watches TV, Its little house on the prairie But I love my
mary, Yehe But I love my
mary, Yehe
