ChorusStep 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 hillways,
up and down,Myrtle green and bracken brown.
Past the shielings, through the town,
All for sake o' Mairi.ChorusRed her cheeks as rowans
are,Bright her eye as any star.
Fairest o' them all by farIs our darling Mairi.
ChorusPlenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her creel.
Plenty bonny bairns as weel,That's the toast for Mairi..Chorus
