Step it Out Mary Lyrics by Saoirse

1973

In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair
When the countryman came riding, he came to her father's gate
Mounted on a milk–white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight
[Chorus] 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 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, a gold ring for her hand
I will build for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
[Chorus] 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 Show your legs to the countryman
But kind sir I love a soldier, I pledged to him my hand
I don't want your house or money, I don't want your goods or land
Mary's father spoke up sharply: You'll do as you were told
You'll be married on this Sunday, you'll wear the ring of gold
[Chorus] 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 Show your legs to the countryman
In the village of Kilgory 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 her father say:
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day
[Chorus] 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 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 to the countryman Show your legs to the countryman
