Mairi’s Wedding
(traditional, arrang. J. Ferguson, Dec. 2013)
110 bpm
Chorus:
G
Step we gaily, on we go!
C D
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
G
arm-in-arm and row-on-row,
C D
all for Mairi' s wedding.
V1.
Over hill-ways up and down,
myrtle green and bracken brown.
Pass the shillings through the town
all for the sake of Mairi.
Chorus
V2.
Red her cheeks as rowans are,
bright her eyes as any star.
Fairest of them all by far
is our darling Mairi.
Chorus
V3.
Plenty herring, plenty meal,
plenty peat to fill her creel,
plenty bonny bairns as weel:
that's the toast for Mairi.
Chorus [repeat]
Outro: G D G
I'll Tell Me Ma
(traditional, arrang. J. Ferguson, 2020)
Chorus:
G
I'll tell me ma when I get home
D G
the boys won't leave the girls alone.
G
They pulled my hair, they stole my comb,
D G
but that's all right till I get home.
G C
She is handsome, she is pretty,
G D
she is the belle of Belfast city.
G C*
She goes a-courting one, two, three-
G D G
please, won't you tell me who is she?
*guitar chops on these words.
V1.
Albert Mooney says he loves her.
All the boys are fighting for her.
They knock at the door; they ring that bell,
sayin', “Oh my true love, are you well?”
Out she comes as white as the snow,
rings on her fingers, bells on her toes.
Old Jenny Murray says she'll die
if she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye.
V2.
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
and the snow come shovellin' from the sky.
She's as nice as apple pie;
she'll get her own lad by and by.
When she gets a lad of her own
she won't tell her ma till she gets home.
Let them all come as they will:
it's Albert Mooney she loves still.
