G
Step we gaily, on we go 
C               D
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
G
Arm in arm and row on row
C               D
All for Mairi's wedding. 

G
Over hillways up and down
C                       D
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
G
Past the sheilings through the town
C               D
All for sake of Mairi. ..Chorus

G
Red her cheeks as rowans are
C                       D
Bright her eyes as any star, 
G
Fairest o' them all by far
C               D
Is our darlin' Mairi... Chorus

G
Plenty herring, plenty meal
C               D
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
G
Plenty bonny bairns as well
C               D
That's the toast for Mairi. .....Chorus
