Peggy-O

As we marched down to Faneri-o

As we marched down to Faneri-o

Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

And they called her name pretty Peggy-o

Come a-runnin' downstairs, pretty Peggy-o

Come a-runnin' downstairs, pretty Peggy-o

Come a-runnin' downstairs, 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
