1. 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. 2. 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.

3. 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 Mary's father spoke up sharply, You will do as you are told You'll mary him on Sunday And you'll wear the ring of gold. 4. In the village of Kildoran There's a deep stream running by They found Mary there on Sunday, She had drowned with soldier boy In the cottage there is music, You can hear her daddy say Step it out Mary my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day.

Refrain 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.
