Songdrops – Miss Mary Brown lyrics

(Verse 1)
One day I was walking down Ptarmigan Trail.
I saw a vision so sweet I nearly turned pale.
She said, "Good day, my name's Miss Mary Brown."
I knew then and there my true love I had found.

I just happened to see her the very next day,
Since I walked ten miles out of my way.
I said, "Would you like to go to the town dance?".
She said, "Yes, I would, so I'm going with Lance."

(Chorus 1)
Miss Mary Brown,
Could turn any frown,
Into a grin that's as big as the town.
One day I hope she wears my wedding gown.
I didn't quite mean that how I made it sound.

(Verse 2)
I went to the dance and I saw her there,
In a pretty blue dress and a bow in her hair.
I walked right up to her and looked in her eyes.
Not really; I wish but my heart was too shy.

So I set by the wall sipping my lemonade.
She walked up and said, "Why are you afraid,
To ask me to dance? Why not give it a go?".
So I said, "Shall we dance, Mary?" and she said, "No."

(Chorus 2)
Miss Mary Brown,
Could turn any frown,
Into a grin that's as big as the town.
One day I'll kiss her in her wedding gown.
I still didn't mean that how I made it sound.

(Verse 3)
I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to say.
I just sat there and watched her as she walked away.
She walked to some gent, I guess it was Lance.
He kissed her cheek and they danced a slow dance.

Then, she came back and she sat next to me.
She said, "That was goodbye and now I am free.
He had been hoping to be my man,
But he's not the one I want holding my hand."

(Chorus 1)
Miss Mary Brown,
Could turn any frown,
Into a grin that's as big as the town.
One day I hope she wears my wedding gown.
I didn't quite mean that how I made it sound.

(Chorus 2)
Miss Mary Brown,
Could turn any frown,
Into a grin that's as big as the town.
One day I'll kiss her in her wedding gown.
I still didn't mean that how I made it sound.

(End lyrics)
One day I'll kiss her in her wedding gown.
She turns my heart upside-down, my sweet Miss Mary Brown.
