"Step It Out" lyrics

So step it out
So step it out
So step it out
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
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
A horseman, he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates
On a pure white stallion and 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

So step it out
So step it out
So step it out
Wear that wedding band (so step it out)

I've come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I've gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
I'll buy her silks and satins 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-

I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
I am in love 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
So step it out
So step it out
So step it out
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-

So step it out
So step it out
So step it out
Show your legs to the countryman
