Lewis Bridal Song
The Lewis Bridal Song

(Traditional)

Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the shieling through the town
All for sake of Mhàiri.
Chorus:

Step me gaily, off we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and off we go
All for Mhàiri's wedding.
Plenty herring, plenty meal

Plenty peat to fill her creel,
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That's the toast for Mhàiri.
Chorus:

Cheeks as bright as rowans are

Brighter far than any star,
Fairest o' them all by far
Is my darlin' Mhàiri.
