I went up to London town
to court a fair young lady
I inquired about her name,
they called her devilish Mary
Ring -tum -ding -tum Terry
Her eyes were blue and
her cheeks were brown
And they called her devilish Mary
Me and Mary began to spark
She got in a hurry
She made up her mind right at the start
She'd marry me next Thursday
She rinked him, dinked him, Terry
Her eyes were blue and
her cheeks were brown
And they called her devilish Mary
We hadn't been married
about three weeks
Till I thought we ought to be parted
She went to see the lawyer,
man, divorce
Proceedings started,
rigged them, dinked them, Terry
Her eyes were blue
and her cheeks were brown
And they called her devilish Mary
She filled my heart with sadness
She sewed my side with stitches
She jumped and she kicked
and she popped her heels
and she swore she'd
wear my britches
ring -tum -ding -tum -terry
Her eyes were blue and
her cheeks were brown
and they called her devilish Mary
If ever I get married again
It'll be for love, not riches
I'll marry me a girl about four feet tall
So she can't wear my britches
Rink -a -dink -a -dink -a -dink
Her eyes were blue and
her cheeks were brown
And they called her devilish Mary
