Had 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 Cildonan,
there's a maiden young and fair,
her eyes are shone like diamonds,
she had long and golden hair.
came rid ing to her father's gate,
mounted on a milk -white stallion, he
Came at the stroke 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
Show your legs to the countryman
I have come to court your daughter
Mary with the golden hair
I have gold and I have sil ver
I have lands beyond compare
I will buy her silks and satins,
a gold ring for her hand,
I will build for her a mansion,
she'll have servants to command
Mary, my fine daughter, step it out
Mary if you can, step it out
show your legs to the country man,
show your legs to the country man
I can't say I love a soldier,
I don't want your gold nor silver,
I don't want your house nor land
Mary's father spoke up sharply,
you will do as you are told
You'll marry him on Sunday
and you'll wear his ring of gold
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Showing your legs to the country man
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 country man
Show your legs to the country man
In the village of Kildonan
There's a deep stream running by
They found Mary there at mid night
She had drowned with a soldier boy
In the village 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 country man
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Show your legs to the countryman
Show your legs to the countryman
