Step It Out Mary
Em Bm
In the village of Kildorey
Em Bm
There lived a maiden young and fair
Em Bm
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
Em C D Em
She had long and golden hair
Em Bm
And a countryman came riding
Em Bm
Up to her fathers gate
Em Bm
Mounted on a milk white stallion
C D Em
He came at the stroke of eight
Em Bm
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Em Bm
Step it out Mary, if you can
Em Bm
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
C D Em
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 satins
And a gold ring for her hand
I'll build for her a mansion
She'll have servants to command"
Chorus,
"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 the ring of gold"
Chorus,
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"
