Mairie's Wedding

back to songbook | text-only lyrics to this song

Chorus:
  Step we gaily on we go 
  Heel for heel and toe for  toe
  Arm in arm and on we go 
  All for Mairi's wedding

Over hillways up and down 
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling through the  town 
All for sake of Mairi

Plenty herring plenty meal 
Plenty peat tae fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi

Chorus

Cheeks as bright as rowans are
Brighter far than any star
Fairest of them all by far
is my darling Mairi.

Chorus

Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken
Pas the sheiling through the town
All for sake of Mairi
