Songs > Step it Out, Mary
Am C In the village of Kilgory, lived a maiden young fair Am G Am G Am Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair But the countryman came riding, riding to her father's gates Mounted on a milk-white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight Chorus: 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 wealthy man 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 from her hand I will buy for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command I don't want your gold or silver, I don't want you house or land I am going with a soldier, I have promised him my hand But her father spoke up sharply, You will do as you are told You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear his ring of gold In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by Mary drowned herself at midnight, she drowned for her soldier boy In the cottage there is music, you can hear her father say Step it out Mary, my fine daughter, for today is your wedding day.
