Font:      
Align:    
  • 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, Ill 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 hes 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.
