Step It Out Mary

Lyrics

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 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 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 In the Village of Kildorey Lived a maiden young and fair Her eyes, they shone like diamonds She had long and golden hair And the countryman came riding Up 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 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 "I've come to court your daughter Mary o' the golden hair I have worth and I have money I have goods beyond compare I'll buy her silks and satin And a gold ring for her hand I'll buy her 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 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 "Oh, kind Sir, I love a soldier I have pledged to him my hand I don't want your wealth nor money I don't want your goods nor land" Mary's father spoke up sharply "You will do as you are told! You'll be married him on next Sunday And you'll wear the ring of gold" 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 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 In the Village of Kildorey There's a deep stream running by They found Mary there at midnight She had drowned with the soldier boy In the cottage there is music You can hear the 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 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
