- Na Fianna perform ‘Step It Out Mary’ live at The Stable Sessions. We decided to bring back an old favourite to finish off the week.
‘Step It Out Mary’ was written by Sean McCarthy and it tells the story of a wealthy man seeking a woman’s hand in marriage. However that woman, Mary, has already vowed to marry another. Instead of marrying the wealthy man as her father told her, Mary and her love drowned themselves in a stream.
Lyrics:
In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
A countryman came riding, riding up to her father's gates
On a milk-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight
So 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
x2
I have come to wed 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
Will buy for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
So 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
X2
But sir I love a soldier, I have promised him my hand
I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house nor land
But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as you’re told
You'll marry him on a Sunday and you'll wear that ring of gold
So 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
x2
In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream running by
Found Mary there at midnight she had drowned with her soldier boy
In the village there is music, you can hear her father say:
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day
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
x2
Ah, ah, ah, ah x 2
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
x2
