Well, give my regards to your father
And tell him he's a stubborn old man
And give all my love to Mary
Mary will you take my hand

Give my best to your mother
She's the only one who understands
And give all my love to Mary
Mary will you take my hand

With a smile as bright as the sun
She makes you feel good
When the day's begun

She makes you feel good
When the day is done
Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand

Well, I went into the city
And I bought a white bouquet
And I gave it to my lovin' Mary
Gonna wear it on our wedding day

Well we'll build a little cottage and
We'll have a child or two
Just me and my lovin'
Mary laughing the whole day through

With a smile as bright as the sun
She makes you feel good
When the day's begun

She makes you feel
Good when the day is done
Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand

Well, your father doesn't like me
But your mother thinks I'm kind of nice
And if my Mary loves me
Then everything will be all right

So tell your older sister
That she's gonna be my bride
And love me forever only
For the rest of her life

With a smile as bright as the sun
She makes you feel good
When the day's begun

She makes you feel
Good when the day is done
Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand
