The Irish Rovers - Step It Out Mary lyrics

So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Step it out, marry, if you can Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman (x2) In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates On a pure-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight. So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Step it out, marry, if you can Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman (x2) I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand She shall have a mansion, she'll have servants to command step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Step it out, marry, if you can Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman (x2) I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as i command, You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that wedding band So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Step it out, marry, if you can Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman (x2) In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by On her wedding day at midnight she drowns with her soldier boy In the cottage there is music, you can hear her father say: Oh step it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day. So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Step it out, marry, if you can Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Show your legs to the countryman (x4)
