[Verse 1]
Ma-ry Brown sold flow-ers and can-dy,
All the boys thought she was a dan-dy,
They would walk a mile Just to see her smile.
Tho' she smiled on all of the oth-ers
who came there to buy,
When one lit-tle boy called her his on-ly joy,
She blushed and said, "Why don't you try?"
[Chorus]
"Wrap me in a bun-dle, dear, And take me home with you,
An-y home will do As long as you are near to cheer me, dear-ie.
'Round my heart just tie a string, A lit-tle wed-ding ring will do
If you'll wrap me in a bun-dle, dear, And take me home with you."
[Verse 2]
Ma-ry Brown looks just as be-witch-in'
Work-ing in her own lit-tle kitch-en.
For she works no more At that can-dy store.
But one fel-low still comes to see her,
Ev-'ry sin-gle day, He's glad he was near
and he hap-pened to hear
The sweet words she hap-pened to say:
[Repeat Chorus]
