As we marched down to Faneri-o

As we marched down to Faneri-o

Our captain fell n love with a lady like a dove

And they called her name, pretty Peggy-o

Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o

Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o

Come a runnin' down the stairs, combin' back

your yellow hair

You're the prettiest little girl I've ever seen-o



In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o

In a carriage you will ride, with your true love by

your side

As far as any maiden in the ar-e-o

What will your mother say, pretry Peggy-o?

What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-o?

What will your mother say, when she finds you've

gone away

To places far and strange to Faneri-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

Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o

Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
