Step It Out, Mary

In the village of Kildori There's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds She had lovely golden hair
When the country man came riding Up to her father's gate
Mounted on a milk-white stallion He came at the stroke of eight

Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Marry if you [A7can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Show your legs to [C7]the wealthy, to [C7]the wealthy man

"I've come to [C7]court your daughter Mary of the golden hair
I have land [Bm]and [Bm]I have money I have goods beyond compare
I'll buy her silk and [Bm]satin And a gold ɾing for [Dm7]her hand [Bm]
I'll build for [Dm7]her a mansion [C7]She'll have servants to [C7]command"

Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Marry if you [A7can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Show your legs to [C7]the wealthy, to [C7]the wealthy man

"I don't want your gold and [Bm]silver. I don't want your house and [Bm]land [Bm]
Oh, I'm in love with a soldier and [Bm]I've promised him my [A]hand!"
But her father spoke up quick and [Bm]sharp "You'll do as you [A7are told
You'll be [Am]married on [C7]this Sunday And you'll wear his ɾing of gold"

Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Marry if you [A7can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Show your legs to [C7]the wealthy, to [C7]the wealthy man

In the village of Kildori There's a deep stɾeam ɾunning by
They found Mary there at midnight Where she drowned with her soldier boy
But in the cottage, there was [Am7]music And you [A7could hear her father say
"Step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter Don't you [A7know it's the wedding day"

Step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Marry if you [A7can
Oh, step it out, Mary, my [A]fine daughter
Show your legs to [C7]the wealthy, to [C7]the wealthy man
