A e a e In the village of Kildoran lived a maiden young and fair A e C G a Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair A countryman came riding up to her daddys gate Mounted on a milk white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight Chorus A e a e Step it out Mary my fine daughter, step it out Mary if you can A e C G a Step it out Mary my fine daughter, show your legs to the countryman I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair I have gold and I have silver, I have land beyond compare I will buy her silks and satins, and a gold ring for her hand I will build for her a mansion, shell have servants to command Chorus Oh kind sir I have a soldier, and I pledged to him my hand I dont want your gold nor silver, I dont want your house nor land Marys father spoke out sharply: you will do as you were told You will marry him on Sunday, and youll wear the ring of gold Chorus In the village of Kildoran, theres a deep stream running by They found Mary there on Sunday, she had drowned with the soldier boy In the cottage you hear music, and youll hear her daddy say: Step it out Mary my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day Chorus
