February Folksong 2013

The Folksong for February is Maris Wedding by Hugh Robertson.

Chorus
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row and row
All for Mairi' s wedding

Over hill-way up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shieling through the town
All for Mairi's wedding
Chorus

Plenty herring plenty meal
Plenty peat tae fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mairi
Chorus

Cheeks as bright as rowans are
Brighter far than any star
Fairest of them all by far is my darling Mairi
Chorus

Over hill-ways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling through the town
All for sake of Mairi
Chorus
