The Lewis Bridal Song

Roger Whittaker

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.

Over hill-ways up and down,

Myrtle green and bracken brown,

Past the sheilings, throÒ‘ the town

All for sake oÒ‘ Mairi.

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.

Red her cheeks as rowans are,

Bright her eye as any star,

Fairest oÒ‘ them aÒ‘ by far,

Is our darling Mairi.

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.

Plenty herring, plenty meal,

Plenty peat to fill her creel,

Plenty bonnie bairns as weel,

ThatÒ‘s the toast for Mairi.

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.

Step we gaily, on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row,

All for MairiÒ‘s wedding.
