As we rode out to Fennario

As we rode out to Fennario
|
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
|
And he called her by name pretty Peggy-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 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
|
And saw me marching 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 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
|
And bid a last farewell to young 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
|
