Macpherson was a Scotchsman, and he courted bonnie Mary He went and joined the navy, left the hills of old Glengary The lass he left behind him nearly wore her heart away She'd dream about him every night, and was sighing all the day. Chorus: 'Oh! Mister Macpherson, you're a peculiar person Why did you leave your bonnie Mary Awa' on the hills of old Glengary Mister Macpherson, you said you'd loved me true Come back and tickle me, Mac The same as you used to do.' She found out where his ship was, and she sent a loving letter She said, 'Why did you go to sea? You ought to know much better I suppose you'll sail to foreign parts now you're a jolly tar And it breaks my heart to think of it, for I know what sailors are.' Chorus: 'Oh! Mister Macpherson, you're a peculiar person Why did you leave your bonnie Mary Awa' on the hills of old Glengary Mister Macpherson, you said you'd loved me true Come back and tickle me, Mac The same as you used to do.' She said, 'The times we used to have, oh, surely you remember We used to have some cuddles in the middle of December. You used to call me 'baby' and you chased me round the place And ev'ry time you kissed me, Mac, you nearly washed my face. Chorus: 'Oh! Mister Macpherson, you're a peculiar person Why did you leave your bonnie Mary Awa' on the hills of old Glengary Mister Macpherson, you said you'd loved me true Come back and tickle me, Mac The same as you used to do.' |
