Step we gaily on we go heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and rovv on rovv, all for mairi´s wedding

Over hill ways up and down / myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shielings thro the town / all for sake of mairi

Plenty herring, plenty meal, plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny sairns as weel, that´s the toast for mairi

Red her cheeks as rowans are, bright her eye as any star
Fairest of them ow by far is our darling mairi.
