In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
But a country man comes riding and rides up to her father's gates
On a milk-white stallion, and he comes at the strike of eight
So 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 country man!
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can

I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
I'll buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
I'll buy for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Step it out, Mary, if you can
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter

I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
I am going with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as you are told
You'll get married on the Sunday and you'll wear that ring of gold!
