Chorus Step we gaily on we go, Heel for heel and toe for toe, Arm in arm and row on row, All for Màiri's Wedding. 1 Over hillways up and down, Myrtle green and bracken brown, Past the shielings, through the town, All for the sake of Màiri. |
2 Red her cheeks as rowans are, Bright her eye as any star, Fairest o' them a' by far, Is our darling Màiri. 3 Plenty herring, plenty meal, Plenty peat to fill her creel, Plenty bonnie bairns as well, That's the toast for Màiri. |
The Rankin Family do it in this order Chorus, 1, Ch, 3, Ch, 2, Ch, 1, Ch, 3, Chorus twice, repeat the last line |
