Step ye gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding

Over the hillways up and down
Myrtle green and Bracken brown
Pass the shieling through the town
All for the sake of Mairi

Red her cheeks as Rowans are
Bright her eye as any star
Fairest oh them I by far
All for the sake of Mari
