lirik lagu stephanie j. block - my mother's weddin' day
[meg]
now if ye think this wedding day went just a bit amiss
then i will tell ye ’bout a wedding 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
at 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 abеrdeen
[townsfolk]
aye, everyonе was on the scene
at her mother’s wedding 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
[townsfolk]
and soon the room began to spin
at her mother’s wedding day
[meg]
then all of a sudden the liquor was gone
the gin and the whisky and all
and all of a sudden the wedding affair
had become a bonnie brawl
for pete macgraw and joe macphee
begun to fight for may macgee
while may macgee and sam mackee
were a~wooin’ in the hall
so cold and stiff was john macvay
they used him for a serving tray
[townsfolk]
for everyone was blithe and g~y
at her mother’s wedding day
[meg]
macduff and macvitie were playin’ a game
and usin’ maccoy for the ball
mackenna was eatin’ the bridal bouquet
and macneil hung on the wall
when finally my father came
his eyes were red, his nose aflame
he did not even know his name
he was drunkest of them all
the people were lyin’ all over the room
a~lookin’ as if they were dead
then mother uncovered the minister quick
and she told him, “go ahead”
then pa kneeled down on bill macrae
and mother kneeled on jock mackay
the preacher stood on john macvay
and that’s how my ma was wed
it was a sight beyond compare
i ought to know for i was there
[townsfolk]
there never was a day as rare
[meg & townsfolk]
as my / her mother’s wedding day
