Peggy-O Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As we marched down to Fennario
As we marched down to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And they called her name pretty Peggy-O
[Verse 2]
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs
Combin' back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I have ever seen-o
[Verse 3]
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride
With your true love by your side
As fair as any maiden in the area-o
[Verse 4]
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say
When she finds you've gone away
To places far and strange to Fennario?
As we marched down to Fennario
As we marched down to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And they called her name pretty Peggy-O
[Verse 2]
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs
Combin' back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I have ever seen-o
[Verse 3]
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride
With your true love by your side
As fair as any maiden in the area-o
[Verse 4]
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say
When she finds you've gone away
To places far and strange to Fennario?
[Verse 5]
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return
All your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return
All your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
