Step It Out Mary
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 kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates
On a pure-white stallion, he comes at the strike 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 have 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
She shall have 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 I command
You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that wedding band
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 kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by
On her wedding day at midnight she drowns 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 countryman
Sal a bailar, Mary
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Sal a bailar, Mary, si puedes
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
En el pueblo de Kilgory, hay una doncella joven y hermosa
Sus ojos brillan como diamantes, tiene largos y dorados cabellos
El jinete viene cabalgando, llegando a las puertas de su padre
En un corcel blanco puro, llega al dar las ocho
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Sal a bailar, Mary, si puedes
Sal a bailar, 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 plata, tengo bienes sin igual
Le compraré sedas y satén y un anillo de oro para su mano
Tendrá una mansión, tendrá sirvientes a su mando
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Sal a bailar, Mary, si puedes
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
No quiero tu oro y plata, no quiero tu casa y tierras
Me voy con un soldado, le he prometido mi mano
Pero el padre habló bruscamente: Harás lo que te digo
Te casarás un domingo y llevarás ese anillo de bodas
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Sal a bailar, Mary, si puedes
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
En el pueblo de Kilgory hay un arroyo profundo que fluye
En su día de bodas a medianoche, ella se ahoga con su soldado
En la cabaña hay música, se puede escuchar a su padre decir
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija, el domingo es tu día de bodas
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Sal a bailar, Mary, si puedes
Sal a bailar, Mary, mi bella hija
Muestra tus piernas al campesino
