Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding.
Over hill ways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shilling through the town
All for the sake of Mairi.
Chorus…
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eye as any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is my darlin’ Mairi.
Chorus…
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as well
That's the toast of Mairi
Chorus (Twice)
