The Wedding

I found myself out, walking out by the heather bell

The lights were on and music played from the wedding on the hill

I pushed the door wide open, the room was running wild

There's beauty on the dance floor and then she turned and smiled

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine

Oh, she sways and shakes, moves her body like a snake

She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen

And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding

The fiddler broke the window, the best man lost his tie

The piper kissed the bridesmaid and drank the whiskey dry

The bride was on the tables, the groom was on the floor

And then she signaled to me and headed for the door

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine

Oh, she sways and shakes, moves her body like a snake

She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen

And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding

Oh, she dances 'round the heather like the moonlight on the glen

Every step she takes forever, I'll be chasing her again

The river through the valley, she was flowing wild and free

When I see those big green eyes, oh, I hope she marries me

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine

Oh, she sways and shakes, moves her body like a snake

She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen

And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding
