Step It Out Mary Lyrics

In the village of KildoriThere's a maiden young and fairHer eyes they shone like diamondsShe had lovely golden hairWhen the country man came ridingUp to her father's gateMounted on a milk-white stallionHe came at the stroke of eight.Chorus:Step it out Mary my fine daughterMarry if you canMary my fine daughterShow your legs to the wealthy man"I've come to court your daughterMary of the golden hairI have land and I have moneyI have goods beyond compareI'll buy her silk and satinAnd a gold ring for her handI'll build for her a mansionShe'll have servants to command."Chorus"But sir I love a soldier,I've pledged to him my hand.I don't want your goods nor moneyI won't have your house nor land."But her father spoke up sharply"You will do as you are told.You'll be married on this SundayAnd you'll wear his ring of gold."ChorusIn the village of KildoriThere's a deep stream running byThey found Mary there at midnightShe drowned her soldier boyIn the cottage there was musicYou can hear her father say"Step it out Mary, my fine daughterYou know it's the wedding day."Chorus
