Traditional - Sir Hugh Robertson
Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Marie's wedding.
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling thro' the town
All for sake of Marie.
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonnie bairns as well
That's the toast of Marie.
Cheeks are bright as rowans are
Brighter far than any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is my darlin' Marie.
