DmC
In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
AmBb
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
DmC
The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates
AmBb
On a pure-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight.
[Chorus]
Dm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C
Step it out, marry, if you can
Am
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
[Verse 2]
DmC
I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
AmBb
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
DmC
I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
AmBb
She shall have a mansion, she'll have servants to command
[Chorus]
Dm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C
Step it out, marry, if you can
Am
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
[Verse 3]
DmC
I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
AmBb
I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
DmC
But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as i command,
AmBb
You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that wedding band
[Chorus]
Dm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C
Step it out, marry, if you can
Am
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
