[Verse 1]

One day, I was walking down Ptarmigan Trail
I saw a vision so sweet I nearly turned pale
She said, "Good day, my name's Miss Mary Brown"
I knew there and then my true love had been found

I just happened to see her the very next day
Since I walked ten miles out of my way
I said, "Would you like to go to the town dance?"
She said, "Yes, I would, so I'm going with Lance"

[Chorus]

Miss Mary Brown
Could turn any frown
Into a grin that's as big as the town
One day, I hope she wears my wedding gown
I didn't quite mean that how I made it sound

[Verse 2]

I went to the dance and I saw her therе
In a pretty blue dress and a bow in hеr hair
I walked right up to her and looked in her eyes
Not really, I wish but my heart was too shy
So I sat by the wall sipping my lemonade
She walked up and said, "Why are you afraid
To ask me to dance? Why not give it a go?"
So I said, "Shall we dance, Mary?" and she said no

[Chorus]

Miss Mary Brown
Could turn any frown
Into a grin that's as big as the town
One day, I'll kiss her, in her wedding gown
I still didn't mean that how I made it sound

[Verse 3]

I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say
I just sat there and watched her as she walked away
She went to some gent, I guess it was Lance
He kissed her cheek and they danced a slow dance

Then she came back and sat next to me
She said, "That was goodbye and now I am free
He had been hoping to be my man
But he's not the one I want holding my hand"

[Chorus]
Miss Mary Brown
Could turn any frown
Into a grin that's as big as the town
One day, I hope she wears my wedding gown
I didn't quite mean that how I made it sound

Miss Mary Brown
Could turn any frown
Into a grin that's as big as the town
One day, I'll kiss her, in her wedding gown
I still didn't mean that how I made it sound
One day, I'll kiss her, in her wedding gown
She turns my heart upside down, my sweet Miss Mary Brown
