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.

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
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!
