Peggy-O (Studio Outtake)

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'll set your cities free

And free all the ladies in the area

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

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 on?

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

Come step on down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O

Come step on down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O

Come step on down the stairs, combin' 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

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
