Subject: Lyr Req: Dances with songs such as Mairi's weddin
I'm looking for traditional tunes/songs that people dance and sing to. An example of this is Mairi's wedding

Step we gaily, on we go,
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm and arm and row on row,
All for Mairi's wedding.

Over hill-ways up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the shielings, through the town;
All for sake o' Mairi.

I know there are ceilidh tunes with a bit of singing and also some morris tunes/songs. This is for a project with young people with SEN at EFDSS and we have found the combination of song/dance together is really fun for our participants. I want to put together a resource and am looking for as many ideas as possible

Thanks in anticipation
