Mary, dear, there's a pretty tear
in your eyes of blue,
Tell me do,
why you're blue?
Guess it's time for your lips to pine,
for a kiss or two,
don't say no, because I'm sure they do.
Remember Mary dear, when in
your gotomeetin' gown.
You looked so nice
I kissed you twice and acted like a clown.
I think you love me still,
because you've never thrown me down.
And, Mary, I have waited long for you.

So don't be angry with me, Mary dear,
because I'm here to whisper in your ear,
a word or two I think
will make you cheer,
Mary I love you,
So Mary darling,
won't you please confess
just answer yes,
and set my heart at rest,
we'll sail away
on a sunny day,
and honeymoon in a honey way,
for Mary, you're a big girl now.

So don't be angry with me, Mary dear,
because I'm here to whisper in your ear,
a word or two I think
will make you cheer,
Mary I love you,
So Mary darling,
won't you please confess
just answer yes,
and set my heart at rest,
we'll sail away
on a sunny day,
and honeymoon in a honey way,
for Mary, you're a big girl now.

Mary mine, don't forget the time
you were my best beau,
loved me so,
called me Joe,
promised, too, that you would be true,
I would always know,
you would wait no matter where I'd go.
And Mary dear,
tho' many years have
kept us far apart,
It always seems that in my dreams
I'm welcome in your heart.
And, Mary time is flying,
don't you think we'd better start,
to love again just
in the same old way.

So don't be angry with me, Mary dear,
because I'm here to whisper in your ear,
a word or two I think
will make you cheer,
Mary I love you,
So Mary darling,
won't you please confess
just answer yes,
and set my heart at rest,
we'll sail away
on a sunny day,
and honeymoon in a honey way,
for Mary, you're a big girl now.

So don't be angry with me, Mary dear,
because I'm here to whisper in your ear,
a word or two I think
will make you cheer,
Mary I love you,
So Mary darling,
won't you please confess
just answer yes,
and set my heart at rest,
we'll sail away
on a sunny day,
and honeymoon in a honey way,
for Mary, you're a big girl now.
