Mairi’s Wedding Marc Gunn

Step it gaily, off we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row and 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

Cheeks as bright as rowans are
Brighter far than many a star
Fairest of them all by far
Tis my darlin' Mairi

Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi
