Mari Mac



This song is the one that made me a fan of Great Big Sea. They didn’t write it – it’s a cover. But Lord thunderin’, it’s good, b’y.



Mari-Macs mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac
Well I'm gonna marry Mari cause Mari's takin' care o' me.
We'll all be feelin' marry when I marry Mari-Mac.

    This is fantastic. (I believe I've heard them and of them before, but now I want to hear more. What's your favorite CD?)

      Boy that's hard... If I had to pick - maybe Up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(Great_Big_Sea_album). I think this was the first one I had. Or maybe Sea of no Cares. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_No_Cares)

      Before I realized why your post was spaced liked that, I thought you were writing with great deliberation.

    I saw them at an outdoor concert about 15 years ago. Fun!

    Such a great version of this song. I only knew it as more tame versions sung by various Irish bar singers.
