"Hey everybody, where did Mary go?"

 

[Pogo]

​

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried; the fear a fallen down taken never back the raize ...

and then Craig Marion!
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet...

"Never!" he cried, "Never shall it ye get me alive, ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!
Well I snatched fer the blade o' my Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

.........and the wind cries Mary.​

Motown baby!

"How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo"

(Mary and Flo being the two Supremes not named Diana Ross...)
