Chorus: 

Step we gaily, on we go heel for heel and toe for toe 

Arm and arm and row and row all for Mari’s wedding 

Plenty herring, plenty meal 

Plenty fish to fill the creel 

Plenty bonny bairns as weel 

That’s the toast of Mair 

Chorus: 

Step we gaily, on we go heel for heel and toe for toe 

Arm and arm and row and row all for Mari’s wedding 

Cheeks are bright as rowans are 

Brighter far than any star 

Fairest of them all by far 

Is my darling Mari 

Chorus: 

Step we gaily, on we go heel for heel and toe for toe 

Arm and arm and row and row all for Mari’s wedding 

Over hill ways up and down 

Myrtle green and Bracken brown 

Pass the shilling through the town 

All for the sake of Mari
