Marie's Wedding Lyrics

Orthodox Celts Marie's Wedding

Step we gaily on we go,
heel and heel and toe for toe,
Arm and arm and row and row,
all for Marie's wedding

Over hillways up and down,
myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the shillings through the town
all for the sake of Marie

Red her cheeks as Rowan's are,
bright her eyes as any star,
Fairest of them all by far,
that's our darlin' Marie

Plenty herring, plenty meal,
plenty peat to fill her kreel,
Plenty bonnie bairns as well,
that's the toast for Marie
