pamela britton - my mother's weddin' day كلمات الأغنية

[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
[townsfolk]
and soon the room began to spin
at her mother’s weddin’ day

[meg]
then all of a sudden the liquor was gone
the gin and the whisky and all
and all of a sudden the weddin’ affair
had become a bonnie brawl

for pete macgraw and joe macphee
began 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 servin’ tray

[townsfolk]
for everyone was blithe and g_y
at her mother’s weddin’ 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
then 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
until today the folks declare
it was a mess beyond compare

[meg & townsfolk]
there never was a day so rare
as my / her mother’s weddin’ day
