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