The Lewis Bridal Song

Chorus :
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 hill-ways up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings, thro’ the town
All for sake o’ Mairi.
Chorus —-

Red her cheeks as rowans are,
Bright her eye as any star,
Fairest o’ them a’ by far,
Is our darling Mairi.
Chorus —-

Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonnie bairns as weel,
That’s the toast for Mairi.
Chorus —-
