The Chieftains


Tom: E

E

[Chorus]
E
Step we gaily on we go
A                 B
Heel for heel and toe for toe
E
Arm in arm and on we go
A               B
All for Marie's wedding


[Verse 1]
E
Over hillways, up and down
A                B
Myrtle green and bracken brown
E
Past the shieling through the town
A                   B
All for the sake of Marie


[Chorus]
E
Step we gaily on we go
A                 B
Heel for heel and toe for toe
E
Arm in arm and on we go
A               B
All for Marie's wedding


[Verse 2]
E
Red her cheeks as rowans are
A                 B
Bright her eyes as any star
E
Fairest of them all by far
A             B
Is my darlin' Marie


[Chorus]
E
Step we gaily on we go
A                 B
Heel for heel and toe for toe
E
Arm in arm and on we go
A               B
All for Marie's wedding


[Verse 3]
E
Plenty herring, plenty meal
A              B
Plenty peat to fill her kreel
E
Plenty bonnie bairns as weel
A                    B
That's the toast for Marie


[Chorus]
E
Step we gaily on we go
A                 B
Heel for heel and toe for toe
E
Arm in arm and on we go
A               B
All for Marie's wedding
