Mairi's Wedding (Michael Rankin's Reel)
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for sake of Mairi
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eyes as any star,
Fairest o' them all by far
That's my darlin' Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for sake of Mairi
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for sake of Mairi
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eyes as any star,
Fairest o' them all by far
That's my darlin' Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi.
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
