Mary's a grand old name (1905) on ukulele

George M Cohan's great tune of 1905. Used MS Media Player for effect (I think Lewdite will understand). I've played the verse and then the chorus twice.

Chorus:
For it is Mary, Mary,
plain as any name can be;
but with propriety, society
will say, Marie.
But it was Mary, Mary
long before the fashion came.
And there is something there,
that sounds so square,
It's a grand old name.

It's a great tune--the more people playing it the better (yours is an amazing interpretation).

Great as always. I just did this one, and didn't mean to copy. I didn't see yours till I posted.
