An Cat Dubh Step It Out Mary
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
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
