Mary Called Him Mister Lyrics - Singles - Tania Kernaghan

They parted but a year before she never thought he'd come 

She stammered blushed held out her hand and called him Mister Gum 

How could he know that all the while she longed to murmur John 

He called her miss Le Brook and asked how she was getting on 

They parted but a year back before they loved each other well 

But he'd been to the city and he came back such a swell 

They longed to meet in fond embrace they hungered for a kiss 

But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss 

He stood and leaned against the door a stupid chap was he 

And when she asked if he'd come in and have a cup of tea 

He looked to left he looked to right and then he glanced behind 

And slowly doffed that hat of his and said he didn't mind 

She glanced at him at times and coughed an awkward little cough 

He stared at anything but her and said I must be off 

That evening he went riding north a sad and lonely ride 

She locked herself inside her room and sat down there and cried 

They parted but a year before they loved each other well 

But she was such a country girl and he was such a swell 

They longed to meet in fond embrace they hungered for a kiss 

But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss 

Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss
