Fenario

As we marched down to Fenario

As we marched down to Fenario

Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

And they called her pretty Peggy-O

Come tripping down the stair, pretty Peggy-O

Come tripping down the stair, pretty Peggy-O

Come tripping down the stair, Combing back your yellow hair

And waiting for you there is sweet William-O

Oh, would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O

Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O

If you'll marry me then the city will go free

And it's this I promise thee, pretty Peggy-O

I would marry you, Sweet William-O

I would marry you, Sweet William-O

I would marry you, but you wear that coat of blue

I'm afraid my ma would be angry-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O

If ever I return, then the city I will burn

And destroy all the ladies in the area-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
