Maries Wedding lyrics

Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go,
Heel and heel
And toe for toe,
Arm and arm
And row and row,
All for Marie`s wedding.

Over hillways, up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for the sake of Marie.

Chorus

Red her cheeks as Rowan`s are,
Bright her eyes as any star.
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darlin` Marie.

Chorus

Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her kreel.
Plenty bonnie bairns as well,
That`s the toast for Marie.

Repeat Chorus

How the light shone from the master
How the light shone from the master
How the light shone from the master`s eyes

Or how the truth shone, from the master
How the truth shone, from the master
How the truth shone, from the master`s eyes

Why didn`t they leave us to wander through battered summers
Why didn`t they leave us to wander when there was no other

And my questions all were answered
When the light shone from the master
When the light shone, from the master`s eyes

From the master`s eyes. Oh how the light shone (etc.)
