Lyrics
- Mary o’ mine, Mary o’ mine
Grew like a rose in a bower
Bloomed for a day, faded away
I lost a beautiful flower
Sweetheart and friend, right to the end
That’s why I miss her so
Chorus
Oh! what a gal was Mary
Oh! what a pal was she
An angel was born on Easter morn
And God sent her down to me
Heart of my heart was Mary
Soul of my soul divine
Though she is gone, love lingers on
For Mary old pal of mine
- Mary o’ mine, Mary o’ mine
My little playmate of childhood
Symbol of love, sent from above
Staunch as an oak in the wildwood
Mem’ries of old, purer than gold
Fill me with love sublime
Sung here by Fred Feild:
