LITTLE MARY ANN. Copyright, 1894, by G. & L. Dittmar. Words by Geo. F. Dittmar. Music by Louis Dittmar. 
In a moss-covered cottage that stands on the hill dwells my little Mary Ann; Last night I proposed, but to me she said: "Have patience, my dear, if you can." I waited patiently for you, my heart belongs to thee. For can't you see that patience and me no longer will agree? 
Chorus. My little sweetheart, give to me your hand; You're always teasing as no one ever can. Time it is flying, for you I'm sighing, My own sweetheart, little Mary Ann. 
I know that your father and mother will miss their dear little Mary Ann; But when we are wed and settled in life we'll visit, whenever we can, That little cottage on the hill, your home of childhood days; You will agree, my darling, with me-true love finds many ways.- Chorus. 
I will make life worth living if you will consent to be my darling wife: I'll strive very hard, that you may enjoy the pleasure and comfort in life; And when old age comes creeping on, together we will stand Until the day that we're called away true lovers hand in hand,-Chorus.
