MAIRI'S WEDDING
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 hillways up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings, through the town,
All for sake of Mairi.

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

Red her cheeks as rowans are,
Bright her eye as any star,
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darlin' Mairi.

Chorus:
