Step It Out Mary lyrics

Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)

In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
A horseman he comes ridin', up to her father's gate
On a pure white stallion, and he comes at the strike of eight.

Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)

I've come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
I'll buy her silks and satins and a gold ring for her hand
She should have a mansion, she'll have servants to command

Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)

I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
Well, the father spoke up sharply: You will do as I command,
You'll get married on a Sunday, and you'll wear that wedding band

So, Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman

Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs...

In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by
And on her wedding day at midnight, she drowns with her soldier boy
In the cottage there is music, you can hear her father say:
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day.
Sunday is your wedding day
Sunday is your wedding day

Step it out, Step it out, Step it out, Step it out
Step it out, Step it out, Step it out, Step it out
Step it out, Step it out, Step it out, Step it out - Step it out Mary... (x4)

Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman (x4)
