Step we gaily, on we go, heel for heel, and toe for toe Arm in arm and on we go, 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 Plenty herring, plenty meal Plenty peat to fill her creel Plenty bonny bairns as weel That’s the toast for Mairi Cheeks as bright as rowans are Brighter far than any star Fairest of them all by far Is my darling Mairi
