My Mother’s Weddin’ Day Pamela Britton

[MEG]
Now if ye think this weddin' day went just a wee amiss
Then I will tell ye 'bout a weddin' far more daft than this
The lad involved turned out to be no other but my pa
And by the strangest bit of luck, the woman was my ma

MacGregor, MacKenna, MacGowan, MacGraw
MacVitie, MacNeil, and MacRae
Aye, all of the folk in the village were there
On my mother's weddin' day

For Pa had asked his friend MacPhee
And Mac had come with May MacGee
And May invited ninety-three
To my mother's weddin' day
Then up the road came Ed MacKeen
With half the town of Aberdeen

[TOWNSFOLK]
Aye, everyone was on the scene
At her mother's weddin' day

[MEG]
At quarter to five everybody was there
A-waitin' around in the room
MacVicker, MacDougall, MacDuff, and MacCoy
Everybody but the groom
And as the hours turtled by
The men got feelin' kind of dry
And thought they'd take a nip of rye
While a-waitin' for the groom
And while the men were dippin' in
The ladies started on the gin
