Marie's Wedding

The Rumjacks

Step we gaily on we go
    Heel for heel and toe for toe
    Arm in arm and row and row
    All for Mairi' s wedding

    Over hill-way up and down
    Myrtle green and bracken brown
    Past the shieling through the town
    All for Mairi's wedding
    
    Step we gaily on we go
    Heel for heel and toe for toe
    Arm in arm and row and row
    All for Mairi' s wedding

    Plenty herring plenty meal
    Plenty peat tae fill her creel
    Plenty bonny bairns as weel
    That's the toast for Mairi
   
    Step we gaily on we go
    Heel for heel and toe for toe
    Arm in arm and row and row
    All for Mairi' s wedding

    Cheeks as bright as rowans are
    Brighter far than any star
    Fairest of them all by far is my darling Mairi
    
    Step we gaily on we go
    Heel for heel and toe for toe
    Arm in arm and row and row
    All for Mairi' s wedding

    Over hill-ways up and down
    Myrtle green and bracken brown
    Past the sheiling through the town
    All for sake of Mairi
    
    Step we gaily on we go
    Heel for heel and toe for toe
    Arm in arm and row and row
    All for Mairi' s wedding
