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 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 on 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 on row all for Mairi's wedding
Plenty herring plenty meal plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel that's our toast to Mairi
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
