Below is the elementary setting of Mairi’s Wedding.
Lyrics
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 shieling through the town
All for sake of Mairi.
Chorus
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eye as any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is my darlin’ Mairi.
Chorus
Plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That’s the toast of Mairi.
Chorus (Twice)
