Mary Will You Take My Hand - Emitt Rhodes

Well, give my regards to your father

And tell him he’s a stubborn old man

And give all my love to Mary

Mary, will you take my hand?

Give my best to your mother

She’s the only one who understands

And give all my love to Mary

Mary will you take my hand?

With a smile as bright as the sun

She makes you feel good when the day’s begun

She makes you feel good when the day is done

Mary, will you take my hand?

Oh, Mary, will you take my hand?

Well, I went into the city

And I bought a white bouquet

And I gave it to my lovin' Mary

Gonna wear it on our wedding day

Well, we’ll build a little cottage

And we’ll have a child or two

Just me and my lovin' Mary

Laughing the whole day through

With a smile as bright as the sun

She makes you feel good when the day’s begun

She makes you feel good when the day is done

Mary, will you take my hand?

Oh, Mary, will you take my hand?

With a smile as bright as the sun

She makes you feel good when the day’s begun

She makes you feel good when the day is done

Mary, will you take my hand?

Oh, Mary, will you take my hand?

Well, your father doesn’t like me

But your mother thinks I’m kind of nice

And if my Mary loves me

Then everything will be all right

So tell your older sister

That she’s gonna be my bride

And love me forever only

For the rest of her life

With a smile as bright as the sun

She makes you feel good when the day’s begun

She makes you feel good when the day is done

Mary, will you take my hand?

Oh, Mary, will you take my hand?
