Step It Out Mary Lyrics

In the village of Kildory There's a maiden young and fair Her eyes shone like diamonds She had long and golden hair When the countryman came riding He came riding to her father's gate Mounted on a milk-white stallion He came to the stroke of eight Step it our Mary my fine daughter Step it our Mary if you can Step it our Mary my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman I have come to court your daughter Mary of the golden hair I have wealth and I have money I have goods beyond compare I will buy her silk and satin and a golden ring for her hand I will build for her a mansion She'll have servants to command But kind Sir I love a soldier I have pledged to him my hand I don't want your house nor money I don't want your goods nor land Mary father spoke out sharply "You will do as you are told! You'll be married on this sunday You will wear the ring of gold." Step it our Mary my fine daughter Step it our Mary if you can Step it our Mary my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman In the village of Kildory There's a deep stream running by They found Mary there at midnight She drowned with her soldier boy In the cottage there is music You can hear the father say "Step it out Mary my fine daughter Sunday is your wedding day." Step it our Mary my fine daughter Step it our Mary if you can Step it our Mary my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman
