Il testo della Mary called him mister

They parted but a year before she never thought he'd come
She stammered blushed held out her hand and called him mister gum
How could he know that all the while she longed to murmur john
He called her miss le brook and asked how she was getting on

They parted but a year back before they loved each other well
But he'd been to the city and he came back such a swell
They longed to meet in fond embrace they hungered for a kiss
But mary called him mister and the farm boy called her miss

He stood and leaned against the door a stupid chap was he
And when she asked if he'd come in and have a cup of tea
He looked to left he looked to right and then he glanced behind
And slowly doffed that hat of his and said he didn't mind

She glanced at him at times and coughed an awkward little cough
He stared at anything but her and said i must be off
That evening he went riding north a sad and lonely ride
She locked herself inside her room and sat down there and cried

They parted but a year before they loved each other well
But she was such a country girl and he was such a swell
They longed to meet in fond embrace they hungered for a kiss
But mary called him mister and the farm boy called her miss

Mary called him mister and the farm boy called her miss
