about

Written by Sean McCarthy

lyrics

In the village of Kildori, there’s a maiden young and fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she had lovely golden hair
When the countryman came riding up to her father’s gate
Mounted on his milk white stallion, he came on at the stroke of eight

Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Mary, if you can
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter
Show your legs to the wealthy man

I’ve come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
I’ve 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.

But sir, I love a soldier, I’ve pledged to him my hand
Don’t want your goods nor money, don’t want no house nor land.
But her father spoke up sharply, you’ll do as you are told
Be married on a Sunday and you’ll wear this ring of gold.

In the village of Kildori, there’s a deep stream running by
Found Mary there at midnight, she drowned with the soldier boy
In the cottage there was music, you’d hear her father say,
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter, you know it’s your wedding day.
