Summary
This dance tune in strathspey time says "Good health to the doctor's Mary". It goes on to speak of dancing on the stairs at her wedding, where gold will be chinking. The composer says he needs one little thing that he and Mary would need.
Item Notes
Two refrains and 3 (4-line) verses. Verses 1-2 have each been sung twice followed by the refrain sung twice. The refrain following the third verse is sung only once.
