Step It Out Mary

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 lived a maiden fair
 Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair
 And a 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
 I've come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
 I have wealth and I have money, I have goods beyond compare
 I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
 I'll build for 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
 Oh kind sir I love a soldier, I've 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 on next Sunday and you'll wear that 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
 In the village of Kildorey, there's a deep stream running by
 They found Mary there at midnight, she 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
