I one dressed up and went to town To court a fair young lady When I inquired about her name Her name was Devilish Mary Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day When me and Mary began to spark She got in a hurry Made it all up in her mind She'd marry me next Thursday Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Hadn't been married for about two weeks Before we oughta been parted Hadn't said one single word She'd kicked up her heels and started Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day One day I said to Mary \"Think we ought to be parted And just as soon as I said the word She packed all her clothes and started Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day She washed my clothes in old soap suds And filled up my bathtub with switches She let me know right from the start She was gonna wear my britches Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Now if I ever marry again It'll be for love not riches Marry a little girl about two feet high And she can't wear my britches Come fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day Fa la ling come, ling come Fa la ling come, day
