LEWIS BRIDAL SONG
(Mairi's Wedding)

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 shielings thro' the town;
All for the sake o' Mairi.

Red her cheeks as rowans are,
Bright her eye as any star,
Fairest o' them aw by far,
Is our bonny Mairi.

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