paul clayton - pretty peggy-o lyrics

Loading...

there’s many a bonnie lass
in the hills of auchterless
there’s many a bonnie ellen
who will wet thee+o
ah, there’s many a bonnie jean
in the streets of aberdeen
but the flower of them all
is in fyvie+o

oh, the colonel cries
“mount boys, mount boys, mount”
but the captain, he cries
“tarry+o! oh, tarry a day
for i cannot ride away
til i see if this pretty maid will marry+o”

oh, i’ll give you ribbons, love
and i’ll give you rings
and i’ll give you a necklace of amber+o
if you’ll ride by my side
and be a soldier’s bride
and follow me home to my family+o

oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy+o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy+o
a soldier’s wife, i never shall be
however if d’you may desire me+o
i never do intend to go to a foreign land
and leave the bonnie banks of the fyvie+o

it’s early next morning
that we marched away
and all but the captain was sorry+o
the drums they did beat
as we marched down the street
and the band played
the bonnie banks o’ fyvie+o

oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy+o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy+o

oh, green grow the trees
on the bonnie banks and leas
and low lie the lowlands o’ fyvie+o
and it’s many a bonnie jean
this soldier, he has seen
but none like pretty peggy o’ fyvie+o
oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy+o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy+o
