Mary ann Mclaughlin Copyright, 1878, by Geo. Mollineux. 
In a cosy cottage painted green, About three miles from here. There lives a pretty Irish queen, To me she does prove dear. Her mother takes in washing, And the girl helps to keep up the trade; Sunday when I go for to see her, These words to her I'd say: 
Chorus. Mary Ann McLaughlin, don't you cry, Take that nprou from your eye; Don't you let the neighbors hear you sigh, And we will married be bye-and-bye. 
Now soon I'm going to married be, Of course I'll settle down; I'll buy a house, also a farm, A little way out of town. Oh! then it will be joyfud, When, as cosy as a mouse, To see the young O'Malleys, Playing tag around the house.- Chorus.
