Chorus:
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row in row
All for Marie's wedding
Repeat Chorus
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheeling, 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 (twice)
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as well
That's the toast for Marie
Chorus (six times)
