The Message

Every day and all night

I'm trying to tell you're all right

Every day and every night

I try to tell you it's black and white

And though I know it's your life and your time

And I know that it makes you feel fine

Don't you know that it's wrong

If you let life do that to you, love

Step we gaily on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm and arm and row and row

All for Mhairi's wedding

Plenty herring, plenty meal

Plenty fish to fill the creel

Plenty bonnie bairns as well

That's the toast for Mhairi

Every day and all night

You're trying to tell me you're all right

Every day and all night

You're trying to tell me it's black and white

And though I know that it makes you feel fine

And I know it's your life and your time

Don't you know that it's wrong

If you let life do that to you, love

Step we gaily on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm and arm and row and row

All for Mhairi's wedding

Plenty herring, plenty meal

Plenty fish to fill the creel

Plenty bonnie bairns as well

That's the toast for Mhairi

Step we gaily on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm and arm and row and row

All for Mhairi's wedding

Plenty herring, plenty meal

Plenty fish to fill the creel

Plenty bonnie bairns as well

That's the toast for Mhairi
