| Lyrics: | As we rode out to fennario, as we rode on to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like
a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O.
Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O,
will you marry me pretty Peggy-O
If you will marry me, I'll set your cities free
And free
all the ladies in the are_-O.
I would marry you sweet William-O, I would marry you sweet
William-O
I would marry you but your guineas are too few
And I fear my mama would be
angry-O.
What would your mama think pretty Peggy-O,
What would your mama think
pretty Peggy-O,
What would your mama think if she heard my guineas clink
Saw me marching
at the head of my soldiers.
If ever I return pretty Peggy-O, if ever I return pretty
Peggy-O
If ever I return your cities I will burn
Destroy all the ladies in the
area-O.
Come steppin' down the stairs pretty Peggy-O,
Come steppin' down the stairs
pretty Peggy-O,
Come steppin' down the stairs combin' back your yellow hair
Bid a last
farewell to your William-O.
Sweet William he is dead pretty peggy-O, sweet William he is
dead pretty Peggy-O,
Sweet William he is dead and he died for a maid
And he's buried in
the Louisiana country-O.
As we rode out to fennario, as we rode out to Fennario
Our
captain fell in love with a lady like a dove,
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O |
