The Blessing of Mary Mcgee

Mary McGee went off to church
While Wee Luck stayed home in bed
A night of carousing with all of his friends
Left Wee Luck now holding his head

Mary McGee was just a bit tiffed 
That her husband had left her alone
She actually gave it a passing thought
To never return back at home

But there at the church, she was met by her friends 
And Mary was now feeling good
When Father O'Hare sent out a plea
For people the give what they could

He said "Today we will do something new
For the one who gives most to the parish
They can pick the first three Hymens to start
I know that's something all cherish" 

Someone said 10, then someone yell 20
30 and 40 soon followed
When Mary McGee shouted a 100
Leaving all of the flock start to wallow

O'Hare was delighted seeing Mary excited
Saying, "Now you can choose your three Hymens"
So, She pointed her finger around the whole hall
Saying, "I choose Him, and Him, and Him
