Mary Mary Quite Contrary

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

Alternative Lyrics: 

Mistress Mary, Quite contrary, 
How does your garden grow? 
With Silver Bells, And Cockle Shells, 
And so my garden grows. 

Alternative Lyrics:

Mistress Mary, Quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With Silver Bells, And Cockle Shells,
Sing cuckolds all in a row.
