As someone 4 generations removed from my Scots and Irish roots - on one side only - this version of this wonderful song is pretty easy to understand - Thank you.
Whenever I need a pick me up I listen to this group. Grand, as my Nana always said. My grandson is leaning to walk and as I hold his little fingers I sing this song to him. Thanks so much for posting this!
First heard this in a TV documentary with the Kennedys , yes, the late President and siblings singing it around the piano. Never forgotten it. So lovely. I play the High Kings version all the time especially when I need a lift.
it's snowing this december morning in my corner of the U.S., but this song makes me smile all over! I really cannot wait to hear what songs they will have on their next CD! These guys are the best!
I only heard of these guys recently & cant get enough of their music. they seem to really enjoy what they do and it really shows through their music!!!!!
I love this song so much im going to have it played at my wedding along with "Fields of glory", "Paddy's green shamrock shore", "Whisky in the jar", "Rocky road to dublin", and "the black velvet band" these are my favorite songs. I'm Amarican but my family says im part irish because of how much i love these songs. Go High Kings!!!!
I was flippin through the channels when these guys came on. I am a mut about equal parts as far as I know. Irish, English, German, Welch and Scottish. I felt drawn into this music, the bagpipes rock such an awsome sound. Heh BTW I usually dont listen to things like this, KoRn (
Chorus: Step we gaily, on we go Heel for heel and toe for toe Arm in arm and row on row All for Marie's wedding (Chorus) Over hillways up and down Myrtle green and bracken brown Past the shielings through the town All for sake of Marie (Chorus) Red her cheeks as rowans are Bright her eyes as any star Fairest of them all by far Is our darling Marie (Chorus 2x) Oh plenty herring, plenty meal Plenty peat to fill her creel Plenty bonny bairns as well That's the toast for Marie Read more: The High Kings - Marie's Wedding Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Hi..I just love, love this rendition of a very familiar Scottish song. My middle name is Mairi as the result of two Scots parents (and having lived there as a wee girl)..Now my fourth child is Mairi. For sure, this will be played at HER wedding. A lovely rendition for sure...thanks...Lindsay
I love this song! I first heard it played by the Chieftains & Van Morrison. This is just as good - if not better! I never heard of these guy before but they are AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for the post.
I found this guys after finding out Finnbar Clancy (the tallest of the 4) was the nephew of a Irish Folk group from the 60s I liked called The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.
He's the nephew of the Clancy Brothers. They were big in the 60s. His dad sand with the group when one of his uncle's left to do a solo career in the 70s.
oh i learned this in choir and it was beautiful. it was all girls so it was really high but it sounded like the real thing, like we were just going to a wedding for our friend marie. :)
Their harmonies are amazing, their band is fantastic and I feel like if I could smile half as much in my life as these guys do on stage, then I have lived well. Thank you High Kings.
This is so wonderful! You can tell how happy they are just to be there. You can see just how much they're enjoying themselves, and they're still just people. I love it!
The guitar thing is called an Irish Bouzouki. It is developed from and similar to the Greek Bouzouki except the Irish version has a flat back. The Irish began using it in the sixties for folk music. Search for Irish Bouzouki above.
They look so happy when they'r preforming. warms my heart to see. it realy shows they do it because they love it. :) the ballance in their voices are so perfect. just beautiful :)
I sung this in my choir what a flashback

seen them at the weekend in dublin, they were great!! very passionate! one man in front of me was crying at one point! music is very humbling...
It's spelled Marie now, but the song was originally called "Mhairi's Wedding". Mhairi is Mary in Scottish Gaelic.
Thanks for this precision.
It was first called Mari Bhan and wrote in gàdhlic or Scots Gaelic
Which is pronounced as Gallic according to one of the squad sergeants in my company who is from Scotland

Chorus:
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Marie's wedding
(Chorus)
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shielings through the town
All for sake of Marie
(Chorus)
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eyes as any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is our darling Marie
(Chorus 2x)
Oh plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as well
That's the toast for Marie
