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

Over hillways, up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheilings, through the town
All for the sake of Marie.

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.

Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eye as any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is our darling Marie

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.

Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonnie bairns as well
That’s the toast for Marie

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.
