Refrain :
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 the sake of Mairi. |
Red her cheeks as rowans are,
bright her eye as any star, fairest of them all by far, that's our darling Mairi. |
Plenty herring, plenty meal,
plenty peat to ¯ll her creel, plenty bonnie bairns to weel, that's our toast to Mairi. |
