myrtle green and bracken brown
 Past the sheiling through the town
 all for the sake of Mairi

 Brighter cheeks as rowans are
 brighter eye as any star
 The fairest of them all
 by far is our darling Mairi

 Plenty herring plenty meal
 plenty peat to fill her creel
 Plenty bonny bairns as weel
 that?s the toast for Mairi

 Brothers left and Brothers right
 havin' a big crack tonight
 Scotsmen on their native bikes
 that?s the ride for Mairi

 Step we gaily on we go
 heel for heel and toe for toe
 Arm in arm and row in row
 all for Mairi?s Wedding
