As we marched down to faneri-o
as we marched down to faneri-o
our captain fell n love with a lady like a dove
and they called her name, pretty peggy-o
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've ever seen-o
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 far as any maiden in the ar-e-o
what will your mother say, pretry 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 faneri-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 ar-e-o
destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
