Mary? Have you forgotten the Gin?
Mary McCarty
Mary McCarty was shy as a primrose,
her face was as fair as a morning in May.
Though many times tempted, she'd never surrender
her virtue more often than three times a day!
(the Chorus)
Whiskey and gin, whiskey and gin,Mary McCarty loved whiskey and gin.
The Girls in the city are skinny and pretty.
Girls in the country have meat on their bones.
But Mary McCarty could give them all lessons
In contorted embraces and delicate moans.
(Chorus)
Mary McCarty had one simple failing:
She liked to have men three or four at a time.
Mary McCarty'd jump over the table –
She liked to be chased in the days of her prime.
(Chorus)
Mary McCarty has gone up to heaven.
She's mourned by her friends who recall her sad fate.
She perished one night in the arms of her lover
And passed from this world ... she was just eighty-eight.
(Chorus)
