Boiled In Lead Step It Out Mary
In the village of Kildori There's a maiden young and fair Her eyes they shone like diamonds She had lovely golden hair When the country man came riding Up to her father's gate Mounted on a milk-white stallion He came at the stroke of eight. Chorus: Step it out Mary my fine daughter Marry if you can Mary my fine daughter Show your legs to the wealthy man "I've come to court your daughter Mary of the golden hair I have land and I have money I have goods beyond compare I'll buy her silk and satin And a gold ring for her hand I'll build for her a mansion She'll have servants to command." Chorus "But sir I love a soldier, I've pledged to him my hand. I don't want your goods nor money I won't have your house nor land." But her father spoke up sharply "You will do as you are told. You'll be married on this Sunday And you'll wear his ring of gold." Chorus In the village of Kildori There's a deep stream running by They found Mary there at midnight She drowned her soldier boy In the cottage there was music You can hear her father say "Step it out Mary, my fine daughter You know it's the wedding day." Chorus
