[Em]Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together
[D]In fact you hardly see the one without the other

Or [G]both of them to[A]gether I am [Em]courting

[Em]Well up among the heather in the hills of Bonifee
[D]Well I had a bonnie lass sitting on me knee
[Em]A bumble bee stung me right above me knee
[G]Up among the [A]heather in the [Em]hills of Benifee

[G]Up among the [A]heather in the [Em]hills of Benifee
CHORUS
[Em]The wedding's on Wednesday, everything's arranged
[D]Soon her name will be changed to mine unless her mind be changed
[Em]And making the arrangements, I'm feeling quite deranged
[G]Marriage is an [A]awful under[Em]taking
CHORUS
[Em]Sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
[D]Going to be a fork and plate for every man that's there
[Em]And I'll be a bugger if I don't get my share
If I [G]don't we'll be [A]very much mis[Em]taken
CHORUS
[Em]There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
[D]Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
[Em]Lot of other fellas try to get up on her back
I'm [G]thinking that they'll [A]have to get up [Em]early
