This is a nice story song about a young lassie named Marie who was getting married. Her wedding was a nice one where the bridal party went down the dirt road to the church.

It is easy to play on guitar as it had only three chords G - C and D

Mairies Wedding

G            
 Step we gaily, on we go

 C                           D
 Heel for heel and toe for toe,
 G  
 Arm in arm and row on row
 C                      D
 All for Mairi's wedding.
 
 G
 Over hillways up and down
 
C                         D
 Myrtle green and bracken brown,

 G
 Past the sheilings through the town

 C                     D
 All for sake of Mairi. ..Chorus
 

 G 
 Red her cheeks as rowans are

 C                             D
 Bright her eyes as any star,

 G
 Fairest o' them all by far

 C                   D
 Is our darlin' Mairi...    Chorus

 
 G
 Plenty herring, plenty meal

 C                     D
 Plenty peat to fill her creel,

 G
 Plenty bonny bairns as well

 C                             D
 That's the toast for Mairi.  .....Chorus
