|
| In the village of Kilgory, there’s a maiden young and fair
|
| Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
|
| The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father’s gates
|
| On a milk-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight.
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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
|
| She shall have a mansion, she’ll have servants to command
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 i command,
|
| You’ll get married on a Sunday and you’ll wear that wedding band
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| In the village of Kilgory there’s a deep stream flowing by
|
| On her wedding day at midnight she drowns 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 (x4) |
