|
Chorus: |
|
Step we gaily on we go, |
|
Heel and heel |
|
And toe for toe, |
|
Arm and arm |
|
And row and row, |
|
All for Marie's wedding. |
|
|
|
Over hillways, up and down, |
|
Myrtle green and bracken brown, |
|
Past the sheilings through the town |
|
All for the sake of Marie. |
|
|
|
Chorus |
|
|
|
Red her cheeks as rowans are, |
|
Bright her eyes as any star. |
|
Fairest of them all by far, |
|
Is our darlin' Marie. |
|
|
|
Chorus |
|
Plenty herring, plenty meal, |
|
Plenty peat to fill her kreel. |
|
Plenty bonnie bairns as well, |
|
That's the toast for Marie. |
