Everyone In Town Likes Mary 1912

There is a little girlie
in a little country town,
Her name is Mary Brown,
she never left the town;
Mary's not contrary
and she seldom wears a frown,
Rain or shine is all the same to Mary;
If she had a sweetheart
no one ever knew his name,
Why Mary would exclaim:
"I love them all the same."
Ev'ry girl in town has tried
to play her little game,
But none of them had anything on Mary.

Ev'ry one in town likes Mary, Mary,
Captivating Mary Brown;
She'd have a smile for Belle,
A little kiss for Nell,
A hug and squeeze for bashful Lily,
Pleasant words for Ed and Willie;
She was always bright and airy, airy,
Never, never sad or blue;
Ev'ryone in town likes Mary,
and I know that you would like her too.

Ev'ry one in town likes Mary, Mary,
Captivating Mary Brown;
She'd have a smile for Belle,
A little kiss for Nell,
A hug and squeeze for bashful Lily,
Pleasant words for Ed and Willie;
She was always bright and airy, airy,
Never, never sad or blue;
Ev'ryone in town likes Mary,
and I know that you would like her too.

When Mary left the country
with a bonnet on her head,
'Most ev'rybody said,
she's going away to wed;
She was asked to marry,
but she came back home instead,
City chaps all looked alike to Mary;
Mary's Uncle Silas
was a multimillionaire,
His health was only fair,
and she his only heir;
When her Uncle passed away,
her friends from here and there,
came in to offer sympathy to Mary.

Ev'ry one in town likes Mary, Mary,
Captivating Mary Brown;
She'd have a smile for Belle,
A little kiss for Nell,
A hug and squeeze for bashful Lily,
Pleasant words for Ed and Willie;
She was always bright and airy, airy,
Never, never sad or blue;
Ev'ryone in town likes Mary,
and I know that you would like her too.

Ev'ry one in town likes Mary, Mary,
Captivating Mary Brown;
She'd have a smile for Belle,
A little kiss for Nell,
A hug and squeeze for bashful Lily,
Pleasant words for Ed and Willie;
She was always bright and airy, airy,
Never, never sad or blue;
Ev'ryone in town likes Mary,
and I know that you would like her too.
