Grateful Dead - Peggy O Lyrics
Peggy-O-------As we rowed up to Fennario,as we rowed up to Fennario,Our captain fell in lovewith a lady like a doveand he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O.Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-OCome steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-OCome steppin' down the stairs, holding back your yellow hairIn the hand ??? ??? , William-O.Will you marry me Pretty Peggy-O?Will you marry me Pretty Peggy-O?If you will marry me, I will set your cities freeand free all the people of the area-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-OWhat would your mama think Pretty Peggy-OWhat would your mama think if she heard my guineas clinksaw me riding at the head of my soldiers-O.If ever I return Pretty Peggy-OIf ever I return Pretty Peggy-OIf ever I return, all your cities I will burnDestroy all the people in the area-O.Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-OCome steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-OCome steppin' down the stairs, holding back your yellow hairBid a last farewell to your William-O.Sweet William he is dead Pretty Peggy-OSweet William he is dead Pretty Peggy-OSweet William he is dead and he died for a maidand he spent the loot he had in the country-O.As we rowed up to Fennario,as we rowed up to Fennario,Our captain fell in lovewith a lady like a doveand he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
