the national – peggy-o 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 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 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 stepping down the stairs pretty peggy-o
come stepping down the stairs pretty peggy-o
come stepping down the stairs combing 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
