Over Hillways up and down

myrtle green and bracken brown

Past the sheiling through the town

all for the sake of Mairi



Brighter cheeks as rowans are

brighter eye as any star

The fairest of them all

by far is our darling Mairi



Plenty herring plenty meal

plenty peat to fill her creel

Plenty bonny bairns as weel

thatÂ's the toast for Mairi



Brothers left and Brothers right

havin' a big crack tonight

Scotsmen on their native bikes

thatÂ's the ride for Mairi



Step we gaily on we go

heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm and row in row

all for MairiÂ's Wedding
