Màiri's Wedding
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Màiri's wedding.
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the shieling through the town
All for sake of Màiri.
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
That's the toast for Màiri.
Cheeks as bright as rowans are
Brighter far than any star,
Fairest of them all by far
Is my darling Màiri.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row,
All for Màiri's wedding.
