вот так вот раньше и женились...
In the village of Kildori
There lived a maiden young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
She had long and golden hair
And the country man came riding
Up to her father's gate
Mounted on a milk-white stallion
He came at the stroke of eight.
Chorus:
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Step it out Marry if you can
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Show your legs to the country man
"I've come to court your daughter
Mary of the golden hair
I have land and I have money
I have goods beyond compare
I'll buy her silk and satin
And a gold ring for her hand
I'll build for her a mansion
She'll have servants to command."
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Step it out Marry if you can
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Show your legs to the country man
"But sir I love a soldier,
I've pledged to him my hand.
I don't want your wealth nor money
I don't want have your house nor land."
But her father spoke up sharply
"You will do as you are told.
You'll be married on next Sunday
And you'll wear his ring of gold."
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Step it out Marry if you can
Step it out Mary my fine daughter
Show your legs to the country man
In the village of Kildori
There's a deep stream running by
They found Mary there at midnight
She drowned to the soldier boy
In the cottage there is music
You can hear her father say
"Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Sonday is the wedding day."
