Mary Lyrics - Darden Smith

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
