Tarry Trousers

In the Village of Kildoran lived a maiden young and fair
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden
 hair,
the countryman came riding up to her daddy`s gate,
mounted on a milk-white stallion, he came at the stroke of 
eight

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.

I have come to court your daughter. Mary of the golden 
hair,
I have gold and I have silver, I have lands beyond compare.
I will buy her silks and satins and a gold ring for her 
hand.
I will buy her a mansion, she'll have servants to command

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.

Oh kind Sir I have a soldier and I`ve pledged to him my 
hand.
I don`t want your gold nor silver, I don`t want your horse 
nor land.
