Mairi's Wedding Songtext / Lyric

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 to feel her creel

Plenty bonny bairns as wheel

That's the toast for Mairi



Cheeks as bright as rowans are

Brighter far than any star

Fairest of them all by far

Is our darling Mairi
