[verse 1]
in the town of castle rising there’s a maiden fine and fair
her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden hair
thеn a country man came riding, he came to hеr father’s door
mounted on a milk+white pony, he came at the stroke of four

[chorus 2]
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man

[verse 2]
“i have come to court your daughter, mary of the golden hair
i’ve 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 build for her a mansion, she’ll have servants to command.”
[chorus 2]
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man

[verse 3]
“can’t you see i love another, i have promised him my hand
i don’t want your gold nor silver, i don’t want your house nor land.”
then up spoke her father sharply, “you shall do as i command!”
and he sent the young man hither with a rifle in his hand

[chorus 1]
fol dee rol diddle aye dye tiree aye tiree aye
whack fol diddle aye day
whack fol rol diddle aye dye tiree aye tiree aye
whack fol diddle aye day

[verse 4]
he came back from downham market, on his pony was a sack
and the body of her lover it was slung across the back
in the town of castle rising you can hear her father say
“step it out, mary, my fine daughter, sunday is your wedding day.”

[chorus 2]
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man
[verse 5]
then poor mary cried in anguish, she wept loud and tore her hair
slipped into her father’s chamber, found a pistol lying there
on the sunday came the wedding, all the townsfolk gathered by
they saw mary pull the trigger for the country man must die

[chorus 2]
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man

[verse 6]
mary said, “i am not sorry,” when the jury heard her tale
“though he rots beneath the soil and now i shall rot in jail.”
there inside the crowded courtroom, twelve good people took their stand
said, “we will not hold you, mary, for the k!lling of the country man.”

[chorus 2]
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man

step it out, mary, my fine daughter
step it out, mary, if you can
step it out, mary, my fine daughter
c+ck your leg for the country man
[chorus 1]
