Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and on we go, all for Mairi뭩 wedding.
Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheeling 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 on we go, all for Mairi뭩 wedding.
Plenty herring, plenty meal, plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as well, that뭩 the toast for Mairi.
Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and on we go, all for Mairi뭩 wedding.
Cheeks as bright as rowans are, brighter far than any star,
Fairest of them all by far is my darling Mairi.
Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and on we go, all for Mairi뭩 wedding.
Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheeling, through the town, all for sake of Mairi.
