IT OUT MARY

Notes
Danny Doyle had a hit with this in 1967.
Lyrics
In the village of Kildorey, there's a maiden
young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
Whn a countryman came riding, up to her father's gate
Mounted on a milk white stallion, he came at the stroke of eight
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
I've 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 for her hand
I'll buy for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
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
I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
I am going with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
But the father spoke up sharply: "You will do as you are told
You get married on a Sunday and you'll wear the ring of gold"
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 Kildorey, there's a deep stream running by
They found Mary there at midnight, and she drowned with the soldier boy
In the cottage 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
