Mary Maud and Marguerite 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Sep 2004

Three little girls with a winning way,
all of them beauties rare
charming in manner and bright and gay
never were girls so fair.
Each of them says she will marry me,
to pick from the lot is a task,
I want to propose
and I would goodness knows,
but I don't know which one to ask.

Mary, Maud and Marguerite,
nicer girls you never will meet
all of them look good to me,
but just think of me marrying three
now what will I do about it,
when each of them is so sweet,
for there's no way to marry them all,
Mary, Maud and Marguerite.

Mary, Maud and Marguerite,
nicer girls you never will meet
all of them look good to me,
but just think of me marrying three
now what will I do about it,
when each of them is so sweet,
for there's no way to marry them all,
Mary, Maud and Marguerite.

Mary and Maud I'm in love with you,
also with Margeurite
out of it some way I wish I knew
I'd make a quick retreat.
This is a puzzle I'd like to solve,
to three I can never be true,
just one I must choose
but there's two I must lose,
it's cruel but what can I do.

Mary, Maud and Marguerite,
nicer girls you never will meet
all of them look good to me,
but just think of me marrying three
now what will I do about it,
when each of them is so sweet,
for there's no way to marry them all,
Mary, Maud and Marguerite.

Mary, Maud and Marguerite,
nicer girls you never will meet
all of them look good to me,
but just think of me marrying three
now what will I do about it,
when each of them is so sweet,
for there's no way to marry them all,
Mary, Maud and Marguerite.
