Mairi's Wedding

Traditional Scottish

 

Chorus:

Step we gaily as we go,

Heel for heel & toe for toe

Arm in arm and on we go,

All for Mairi's wedding

 

Chorus

 

Over hill ways up & down,

Myrtle green & bracken brown

Past the sheeling through the town,

All for the sake of Mairi.

 

Chorus

 

Plenty herring, plenty meal,

Plenty peat to fill her creal

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.
