EmDEmD
In the village of Kildoron, there's a maiden young and fair
EmDGDEm
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, and she had long and golden hair
EmDEmD
The countryman came riding, up to her father's gates
EmDGDEm
Mounted on a milk-white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight.
[Chorus]
EmD
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
EmD
Step it out, Mary, if you can
EmD
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
GDEm
Show your legs to the countryman
GDEm
Show your legs to the countryman
EmDEmD
Bap bap baya Bap
CDEm
Bap Bap, Bap bap bap bada
EmDEmD
Bap bap baya Bap
CDEm
Bap Bap, Bap bap bap bada
[Verse 2]
EmDEmD
I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
EmDGDEm
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
EmDEmD
I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
EmDGDEm
I will build for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
[Chorus]
EmD
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
EmD
Step it out, Mary, if you can
EmD
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
GDEm
Show your legs to the countryman

[Verse 3]
EmDEmD
But kind Sir, I love a soldier, I have pledged to him my hand
EmDGDEm
I don't want your goods and money, I don't want your house or land
EmDEmD
Mary's father spoke sharply: You will do as you are told
EmDGDEm
You will marry him on sunday, and you will wear his ring of gold
[Chorus]
EmD
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
EmD
Step it out, Mary, if you can
EmD
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
GDEm
Show your legs to the countryman
GDEm
Show your legs to the countryman
EmDEmD
Bap bap baya Bap
CDEm
Bap Bap, Bap bap bap bada
EmDEmD
Bap bap baya Bap
CDEm

[Bridge]
EmDEmD
In the village of Kildoron there's a deep stream running wild
EmDGDEm
they found Mary there at midnight, she had drowned with her soldier boy
EmDEmD
In the cottage there is music, you can hear her father say:
EmDGDEm
Oh step it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day.
GDEm
Sunday is your wedding day.
[Chorus]
EmD
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
EmD
Step it out, Mary, if you can
