| I one dressed up and went to town |
| To court a fair young lady |
| When I inquired about her name |
| Her name was Devilish Mary |
| Come fa la ling come, ling come |
| Fa la ling come, day |
| Fa la ling come, ling come |
| Fa la ling come, day |
| When me and Mary began to spark |
| She got in a hurry |
| Made it all up in her mind |
| She’d marry me next Thursday |
| Hadn’t been married for about two weeks |
| Before we oughta been parted |
| Hadn’t said one single word |
| She’d kicked up her heels and started |
| One day I said to Mary |
| «Think we ought to be parted.» |
| And just as soon as I said the word |
| She packed all her clothes and started |
| She washed my clothes in old soap suds |
| And filled up my bathtub with switches |
| She let me know right from the start |
| She was gonna wear my britches |
| Now if I ever marry again |
| It’ll be for love not riches |
| Marry a little girl about two feet high |
| And she can’t wear my britches |
