Mairi's Wedding

Step we gaily on we go,
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row,
All for Mairi's wedding.

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

Step we gaily on we go,
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row,
All for Mairi's wedding.

Red her cheeks as rowans are,
Bright her eye as any star,
Fairest of them all by far,
Is my darlin' Mairi.

Step we gaily on we go,
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row,
All for Mairi's wedding.

Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel,
That's the toast of Mairi.
