Lyrics

  1. Come on, Mary, what do you say
    Come on, Mary, this is the day
    We’ll hitch old Dobbin to the carriage
    And celebrate your Mother’s marriage
    Don’t be bashful, wedding time is here
    Hurry up, hurry up, Mary dear

Chorus
Come on and do, do, do what your mother did
You know what she did for your dad
If you’ll do, do, do what your mother did
You’ll make me mighty glad
Oh, she took his heart, and she took his hand
She took him to the church and got a wedding band
Come on and do, do, do what your mother did
And I’ll do just the same as your dad

  1. Your ma made your father a man
    Your ma took him right by the hand
    She drew his bashful arm around her
    She made him very glad he found her
    Then she put her lips right up to his
    Said to him, come again, here it is
