Mary Will You Take My Hand Lyrics by Emitt Rhodes

The American Dream

0

[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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?
