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 O'er the hielands up and down Myrtle green and bracken brown Past the shieling, through the town All for sake of Mairi Cheeks as bright as rowans are Brighter far than any star Fairest of them all by far Is our darlin' Mairi Plenty herring, plenty meal Plenty peat to fill her creel Lots o' bonny bairns as weel That's our toast for Mairi
