Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

  • Mary mary- Mary I

    The garden- protestant graveyard

    Silver bells- torture device called the 'Thumbscrew'

    Cockle shell- The 'cockleshells' were believed to be instruments of torture which were attached to the genitals!

    Pretty maids in a row- The 'maids' were a device to behead people called the Maiden

  • @Tokiohotelgirl97 the garden made mocking reference to her womb and the fact that she gave birth to no heirs

  • whats wrong with the audio in the beginning?

  • @Tokiohotelgirl97 ....or it could be a sweet song about a little girl and her flower garden..... that could also be the meaning of the song....

  • gradualreport on gradualreports

  • Demonic!!

  • dont let them fool you mary was growing pot!

  • disturbing

    1.silver bells =cathedral bells, cockle shells =pilgrimage to Shrine of St James & pretty maids =Catholic nuns. 2.cockle shells = lewd comment on her marriage. …garden grow? = scornful attack of inability to produce an heir. pretty maids all in a row = her miscarriages. 3. “Bloody Mary” with silver bells & cockle shells = instruments of torture: silver bells = thumbscrews & cockles shells = instruments of torture attached to the genitals. pretty maids = early guillotine-type devices

  • lol
