Step It out Mary Lyrics by The Apex Singers

Stravaig

2022

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
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
Oh, in the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
But the countryman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates
Riding on a milk-white stallion, and he comes at the strike of eight
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the countryman
I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
I will buy for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
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
Oh, I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
I am going with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
But the father spoke up sharply: "You will do as you are told!"
You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that ring of gold
So 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
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
In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by on her
And on her wedding day 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"
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
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
