► STREAM/DOWNLOAD "Dh'èirich Mi Moch Madainn Cheòthar" on Apple Music, iTunes, & Spotify: ditto.fm/stravaig
This Scottish Gaelic waulking song was made popular by Julie Fowlis on her album 'alterum'. There is a 1950 recording of the song on Tobar an Dualchais which is Scotland’s online resource for preserving audio recordings of Scottish cultural heritage. A young woman, recently married, slipped out of her house in the early morning to meet her former lover to whom she wishes she’d avowed herself.

    Lyrics: (Apex Singers version) 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 country man Oh, in the village of Kilgory, There's a maiden young and fair Her eyes shine like diamonds She has long and golden hair But the countryman comes riding, Rides up to her father's gates Riding on a milk 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 country man "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. I will buy for her 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 country man "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 you are told, You'll get married on a Sunday And you'll wear that ring of gold!" 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 country man In the village of Kilgory There's a deep stream flowing by And on her wedding day at midnight She drowned 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 country man ---The song is based on a children's skipping song and was originally released in 1967.
