Step It Out
In the village of Kildore, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair
When the countryman came riding, he came to her father's gate
Mounted on a milkwhite 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 country man
I've come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I have gold and I have money, I have goods beyond compare
I will buy her silks and satins and a gold ring for her hand
I will build 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 country man
But kind sir I love a soldier, and I've pledged to him my hand
I don't want your goods and money, I don't want your house nor land
Mary's father spoke up sharply: you'll do as you are told
You'll be married on the Sunday, 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 country man
In the village of Kildore, there's a deep stream running wild
They found Mary there at midnight, she drowned with her 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 country man
Paso a paso
En el pueblo de Kildore, hay una doncella joven y hermosa
Sus ojos brillaban como diamantes, tenía largos y dorados cabellos
Cuando el campesino llegó cabalgando, llegó a la puerta de su padre
Montado en un corcel blanco como la leche, llegó al dar las ocho
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Paso a paso Mary, si puedes
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
He venido a cortejar a tu hija, Mary de los cabellos dorados
Tengo oro y tengo dinero, tengo bienes sin igual
Le compraré sedas y satenes y un anillo de oro para su mano
Le construiré una mansión, tendrá sirvientes a su mando
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Paso a paso Mary, si puedes
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
Pero amable señor, amo a un soldado, y le he prometido mi mano
No quiero tus bienes y dinero, no quiero tu casa ni tierras
El padre de Mary habló con firmeza: harás lo que se te dice
Te casarás el domingo, llevarás el anillo de oro
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Paso a paso Mary, si puedes
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
En el pueblo de Kildore, hay un arroyo profundo corriendo salvaje
Encontraron a Mary allí a medianoche, ahogada con su soldado
En la cabaña hay música, se puede escuchar a su padre decir
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija, el domingo es tu día de bodas
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Paso a paso Mary, si puedes
Paso a paso Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
