Step we gaily on we go heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm and rovv on rovv, all for mairi's wedding


Over hill ways up and down / myrtle green and bracken brown

Past the shielings thro the town / all for sake of mairi


Plenty herring, plenty meal, plenty peat to fill her creel

Plenty bonny sairns as weel, that's the toast for mairi


Red her cheeks as rowans are, bright her eye as any star

Fairest of them ow by far is our darling mairi
