Guest, Bear, the words are in the link just above. I don't know why it didn't work above. One of the links which DID work showed a set of chords for the one of the verses.

Hope that helps.

Shouldn't it be called 'Lewis bridal song'?

It goes by both titles - Mairi's Wedding and Lewis Bridal Song.

Roberton published it as Lewis Bridal Song (Mairi's Wedding) (1937). There are some mistakes in the DT file; some of the links George has given have more accurate texts.

In the book as the Lewis Bridal Song (Mairi's Wedding) there is another song, lyrics by J N McConochie, which is called Marie's Wedding (same spelling as in the thread title)

see page 40 of the book for musical notation.

MARIE'S WEDDING
(J.N. McConochie)

Dancing at the Clachan Inn for
Now to banish care with laughter
Dancing at the Clachan Inn for
Here's a health to Marie!

oo vee ah vee oo vee ah vee
oo vee ah vee oo vee ah vee
Here's a health to Marie

Toe and heel, we dance the reel
For Donald's wed to Marie


-- I've tried searches using lines from the song, but everything I try comes up with the better known Lewis Bridal Song. And a search for J N McConochie only yielded the digital copy of The Road to the Isles with the score for a choral arrangement of this song.It's sung as a strathspey in a medley with two reels, Mac a Phee Turn the Cattle Round (http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=45791 and Varry Van Mochree (a Mháiri bhan mo chridh, fair Mairi of my heart)

I found a recording of a choir singing in Gaelic the medley published in English as "Marie's Wedding"
here is the choral arrangement:
Strathspeys & Reels: U-Bhi A-Bhi, Mac-a-Phi, Stad A Mhairi Bhanarach

mention of the Clachan Inn reminds me I was once in a nice session in the Clachan Inn in Glencoe in about 1969- we were thrown out by the manager for playing dirty tunes- make what you can of that..... Donal Maguire was there & can confirm!

I have always thought that:
"Lewis Bridal Song" is the melody.
"Mairi's Wedding" is the song with lyrics.

Written 1960 re the wedding of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong Jones.


MAGGIE'S WADDIN
(Jim McLean)

Sing a song o' tax and woe, empty pooches in a row
Chancellor's collectin' dough a' for Maggie's waddin'
Silk and satin, gold lamé, Tony wears a lum hat tae
Ma suit's in the pawn sae whit'll ah dae at the Royal Waddin'

Maggie flounces doon the aisle, her mither staunds wi' forcit smile
Needs a dose o' castor oil at her dochter's waddin'
Tony's doon on bendit knee, gied up his photographie
Nae mair birdies will he see efter Maggie's waddin'

Foreign guests fae near and far, packed inside Westminster Ha'
Parasites fae France an' a' at the Royal Waddin'
Whaur d'ye think they'll honeymoon? Rome, Paree or on the moon
Wi'oot a doot it's no Dunoon efter sic a waddin'

Noo they're mairried aff they blow tae spend a thoosan' poond or so
That's the way oor money goes for Mrs Jones's waddin'
Back again and help ma bob, Tony hasnae got a job
Wha will buy the christenin' robe - you an' me ah'll bet ye

Royal mince is awfy dear, Tony needs a rise next year
Increase tax on fags an' beer efter Tony's waddin'
Maggie's ta'en up fancy cookin' - Bird's Nest soup fae a Chinese book an'
Suzie Wong won't hae a look in - velly nicey wedding

Sing a song o' tax and woe, empty pooches in a row
Chancellor's collectin' dough a' for Maggie's waddin'
A for Maggie’s Waddin

(as sung by Nigel Denver)

Tune: Lewis Bridal Song
