Step It Out Mary Lyrics

a e a e
In the village of Kildoran lived a maiden young and fair,
a e C G a
her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair.

A countryman came riding up to her daddys gate,
mounted on a milk white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight.

Chorus
a e a e
Step it out Mary my fine daughter, step it out Mary if you can.
a e C G a
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,An Cat Dubh - Step It Out Mary - http://motolyrics.com/an-cat-dubh/step-it-out-mary-lyrics.html
I have gold and I have silver, I have land beyond compare.
I will buy her silks and satins, and a gold ring for her hand,
I will build for her a mansion, shell have servants to command.

Chorus
Oh kind sir I have a soldier, and I pledged to him my hand,
I dont want your gold nor silver, I dont want your house nor land.
Marys father spoke out sharply: you will do as you were told,
you will marry him on Sunday, and youll wear the ring of gold.
Chorus
In the village of Kildoran, theres a deep stream running by,
they found Mary there on Sunday, she had drowned with the soldier boy.
In the cottage you hear music, and youll hear her daddy say:
step it out Mary my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day.
Chorus
