Lyrics and translation The High Kings - Step It Out Mary

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

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 milk-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight

So 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

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

So 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

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

So 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

Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs...

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
Sunday is your wedding day
Sunday is your wedding day

Step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, Mary
Step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, step it out, Mary
Step it out Mary
Step it out Mary
Step it out Mary
If you can

Step it out Mary
Step it out Mary
Step it out Mary
If you can

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

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

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

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

Danse, ma jolie Mary

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Au village de Kilgory, il y a une jeune et belle demoiselle
Ses yeux brillent comme des diamants, elle a de longs cheveux dorés
Le cavalier arrive, chevauchant jusqu'aux portes de son père
Sur un étalon blanc comme le lait, il arrive au coup de huit heures

Alors danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Je suis venu courtiser votre fille, Mary aux cheveux dorés
J'ai de l'or et j'ai de l'argent, j'ai des biens sans comparaison
Je lui achèterai des soies et du satin et une bague en or pour sa main
Elle aura un manoir, elle aura des domestiques à commander

Alors danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Je ne veux pas de ton or et de ton argent, je ne veux pas de ta maison et de tes terres
Je pars avec un soldat, je lui ai promis ma main
Mais le père prit la parole brusquement : Tu feras ce que je te commande
Tu te marieras un dimanche et tu porteras cette alliance

Alors danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes...

Dans le village de Kilgory, il y a un profond ruisseau qui la longe
Le jour de son mariage, à minuit, elle se noie avec son soldat
Dans la chaumière, il y a de la musique, on peut entendre son père dire :
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille, dimanche c'est ton jour de mariage
Dimanche c'est ton jour de mariage
Dimanche c'est ton jour de mariage

Danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, Mary
Danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, Mary
Danse Mary
Danse Mary
Danse Mary
Si tu le peux

Danse Mary
Danse Mary
Danse Mary
Si tu le peux

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard

Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Danse, ma jolie Mary, si tu le peux
Danse, ma jolie Mary, ma fine fille
Montre tes jambes au campagnard
