Little Miss Mary

(album: Cats As Cats Can - 1967)

Hey there, little miss Mary
Don't be contrary
I only wanna be friends with you
Come out of your garden, into my yard

And there's a lot of cultivation to do
For me and you
If you might tell you go
Baby, don't be slow

'Cause loving takes a little time to grow
Hey there, little miss Mary
You only grab what you sow

Hey, there little miss Mary
You're so contrary
That boy is always trying to be nice
Your flowers ain't growing

Ain't nothing showing
To keep us two from breaking the ice
I've told you twice
If you might tell you go, baby, don't be slow

'Cause loving takes a little time to grow

Mary, Mary, why contrary?
How does your garden grow
With silver bells and cockle shells
Girl, you got to tell me it's yes or no

Hey there, little miss Mary
You only grab what you sow

I've told you twice
If you might tell you go, baby, don't be slow

'Cause loving takes a little time to grow

Hey there, little miss Mary
You only grab what you sow

You only grab what you sow, oh yeah
You only grab what you sow
