grateful dead - peggy o lyrics
peggy-o
——-
as we rowed up to fennario,
as we rowed up to fennario,
our captain fell in love
with a lady like a dove
and he called her by name, pretty peggy-o.
come steppin’ down the stairs pretty peggy-o
come steppin’ down the stairs pretty peggy-o
come steppin’ down the stairs, holding back your yellow hair
in 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 free
and 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-o
what would your mama think pretty peggy-o
what would your mama think if she heard my guineas clink
saw me riding at the head of my soldiers-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
destroy all the people 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, holding 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 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 love
with a lady like a dove
and he called her by name, pretty peggy-o.
