Marie’s Wedding

Trad

Step we gaely, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and on we go, all for Marie’s wedding

Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling, thro’ the town all for sake of Marie

Step we gaely, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and on we go, all for Marie’s wedding

Plenty herring, plenty meal, plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonnie bairns as weel, that’s the toast for Marie

Step we gaely, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and on we go, all for Marie’s wedding

Cheeks as bright as rowans are, brighter far than any star
Fairest of them all by far, is my darling Marie

Step we gaely, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and on we go, all for Marie’s wedding

Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling, thro’ the town all for sake of Marie

Step we gaely, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and on we go, all for Marie’s wedding

A Scottish song, also known as The Lewis Bridal Song.
