I courted
Mary
Ellen for fourteen solid years
But she made me blush when she
one night boldly said to me
You've never kissed me once,
Frank,
Though I'd like you to, she sighed.
Why don't you call
me pretty names?
I hung my hat and cried.
I'm shy,
Mary
Ellen, I'm shy,
It does seem so naughty, oh my!
Kissin' is nicey, I've often heard say
But still how to do it, I don't know the way
So you put your arm round my waist I
promise I won't scream or cry
So you do the kissin'
and cuddlin' instead
Cause I'm shy
Mary
Ellen, I'm shy
To marry
Mary
Ellen, I went to church one morn,
While the party with the bride,
Went
to church I stood outside.
For quite an hour I stood there,
While she waited to be wed.
Then she came out and said,
Come on, I don't like to, I said.
Oh, I'm shy,
Mary
Ellen, I'm shy.
It does seem so naughty, oh my.
Kissing is nicey, I've often heard say,
But still how to do it, I don't know the way.
So you put your arm round my waist I
promise I won't scream or cry
So you do the kissin' and
cuddlin' instead,
Cause I'm shy,
Mary
Ellen, I'm shy.
