The sheet music:


Lyrics

  1. Whoever named you Mary
    Certainly named you right
    Although it’s quaint and ordinary
    You must be good with the name of Mary
    Your little world was sorrow
    Though you were not to blame
    You knew there would be a tomorrow
    You’re a credit to your wonderful name

Chorus
Beautiful Mary Regan
There’s a world of good in you
No one around to guide you
Everything good denied yo
And you took the straight and narrow
After all that you’ve been through, Mary Regan
Wouldn’t this be a wonderful world
If they were all like you

  1. Angels that sent you Mary
    Gave you a heart of gold
    Sunbeams that curled your hair so simple
    Kissed both your cheeks and they left a dimple
    Clouds have a silver lining
    That’s what your heart told you
    And your star of night kept on shining
    Just to guide you to the road that runs true
