Mary From The Dairy
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Miller; Walsh
Performer(s): Max Miller



I fell in love with Mary from the dairy
But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me
Down by an old mill stream
We both sat down to dream
Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme

She said, 'Let's pick some buttercups and daisies'
But those buttercups were full of margarine
She slipped and we both
Down by a wishing well
In the same place where I fell for Nellie Dean

I fell in love with Mary from the Dairy
But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me
Down by an old mill stream
We both sat down to dream
That was when I offered her my strawberries and cream

We walked and talked together in the moonlight
She asked me what I knew of farmery
I said, 'Mary, I'm no fool
You can't milk Barney's Bull'
That's when Mary from the dairy fell for me

Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme
The wife she says that she is going to leave me
The moment that she does then I am free
There's a little girl I know
I'll take her and I'll show
Where Mary from the Dairy fell for me
