Over hill on Mary Street
There is none that can compete
Nearly everything complete
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row and row
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Plenty things to organize
Ice cream flavours, bowls of ice
Everything will be just right
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Chorus
Drywall, mud and paint and plumbing
Plan for rain in case it’s coming
Floors to build for country dancing
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Chorus
Grass to cut and tent to pitch
Bees to tend and bites to itch
All to run without a hitch
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Chorus
Dress to hem, blue dress to make
Cake to bake and decorate
Cushion covers, don’t be late
All for Elswyth’s Wedding
Chorus
Flowers picked for Church’s pew
Handmade paper, sugar cubes
Children singing right on cue
All for Elswyth’s wedding
Chorus
With apologies to Hugh Robertson who wrote Mairi’s Wedding.
