Description

Lyrics:

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 Killdoran
There's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes were shone like diamonds
She had long and golden hair
The countryman came riding
He came to her father's gate
Mounted on a milk-white stallion
He came at the stroke of eight

I've come to wed your daughter,
Mary of the golden hair
I have goods and I have money
I have wealth beyond compare
And I'll buy her silks and satins
And a gold rings for her hand
I will build for her a mansion;
She'll have servants to command

[Chorus]x2

Kind sir I have another
I have pledged at him my hand
I don't want your goods nor money
I don't want your wealth and land
Mary's father spoke up sharply:
You will do as you are told
You will marry here next Sunday
You will wear the ring of gold

[Chorus]x2

In the village of Killdoran
There's a deep stream running by
You'll find Mary there at midnight
She'll be trying to see her boy
In the village there'll be music
And you'll hear her father say
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Sunday is your wedding day

[Chorus]x4
