| Lyrics: | Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go,
Heel and heel
And toe for toe,
Arm and arm
And
row and row,
All for Marie's wedding.
Over hillways, up and down,
Myrtle green and
bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for the sake of Marie.
Chorus
Red her cheeks as Rowan's are,
Bright her eyes as any
star.
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darlin' Marie.
Chorus
Plenty
herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her kreel.
Plenty bonnie bairns as
well,
That's the toast for Marie.
Repeat Chorus
How the light shone from the
master
How the light shone from the master
How the light shone from the master's eyes
Or how the truth shone, from the master
How the truth shone, from the master
How
the truth shone, from the master's eyes
Why didn't they leave us to wander through
battered summers
Why didn't they leave us to wander when there was no other
And my
questions all were answered
When the light shone from the master
When the light shone, from
the master's eyes
From the master's eyes. Oh how the light shone (etc.) |
