Melodia per danza di probabile origine tardo settecentesca ("The Lewis Bridal Song" in P.A. McLeod - "Scottish Songs"). Il testo qui presentato è di Hugh S. Roberton.

* Due reels dalla raccolta di F. O'Neill,
"The Dance Music of Ireland"

Step we gaily on we go,
heel for heel and toe for toe,
arm in arm and on we go,
all for Mairi's wedding.

Over hillways up and down,
myrtle green and bracken brown,
past the sheiling through the town,
all for sake of Mairi.

Plenty herring plenty meal,
plenty peat tae fill her creel,
plenty bonny bairns as weel,
that's the toast for Mairi.

Cheeks as bright as rowans are,
brighter far than any star
fairest of them all by far
is my darling Mairi.
