Song Lyrics
Chorus:

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm and off we go

All for Marie's wedding

Over hillways up and down

Myrtle green and bracken brown

Past the shielings through the town

All for sake of Marie

(Chorus)

Red her cheeks as rowans are

Bright her eyes as any star

Fairest of them all by far

Is our darling Marie

(Chorus)

Oh plenty herring, plenty meal

Plenty peat to fill her krill

Plenty bonny bairns as well

That's the toast for Marie
