Darden Smith Mary Lyrics

Mary Lyrics

Wake up, wake up, little Mary



Yes, there'll be a fine white cake, flowers for your hair

And you will see Aunt Julie Ann, no I won't be there

Throw the rice, dance and sing, have a real good time

If anybody asks, say I'm doing fine



Wake up, wake up, little Mary 

There is no time to play

Cause it's your mother's wedding day



Yes I'll always be your father, no your name won't change

And you will always have this room that will stay the same

Pretty soon it will be Christmas, we can buy a tree

And you can always call from Tennessee



Wake up, wake up, my little Mary

There is no time to play

Cause it's your mother's wedding day



Your mother and me we were only twenty 

On that beautiful spring morn

It was a fine day, a loving memory

But nothing like the day that you were born
