Marie's Wedding
Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go,
Heel and heel
And toe for toe,
Arm and arm
And row and row,
All for Marie's wedding.
Over hillways, up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for the sake of Marie.
Chorus
Red her cheeks as Rowan's are,
Bright her eyes as any star.
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darlin' Marie.
Chorus
Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her kreel.
Plenty bonnie bairns as well,
That's the toast for Marie.
Repeat Chorus
Lessons of Today
Sitting in a fantasy
My life is in a mess
Giving to a woman
Who can take more than she gets
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on into something better
Jumpin’ on a lady
Who was only being nice
You know I heard the first time
She had to ask me twice
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on into something better
Roll on, get it on
Tell me what is being done
To get me off this downy run
Move on, everyone
Getting old is no fun
You can ask anyone
Running into corners
And kicking over stones
Don’t you people unders
My life is in a mess
Giving to a woman
Who can take more than she gets
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on into something better
Jumpin’ on a lady
Who was only being nice
You know I heard the first time
She had to ask me twice
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on into something better
Roll on, get it on
Tell me what is being done
To get me off this downy run
Move on, everyone
Getting old is no fun
You can ask anyone
Running into corners
And kicking over stones
Don’t you people unders
