Marie's Wedding 
Songwriter:  
 
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go,
heel and heel
and toe for toe
arm and arm
and row and row
all for Marie's wedding

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

Chorus

Red her cheeks as Rowan's are,
Bright her eyes as any star.
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darling Marie.

Chorus

Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her kreel,
Plenty bonnie bairns as well,
That's the toast for Marie.

Chorus (repeat several times)
