Lyrics

Peggy-O
 As we rowed up to Fennario,
 as we rowed up to Fennario,
 Our captain fell in love
 with a lady like a dove
 and he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O.
 Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
 Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
 Come steppin' down the stairs, holding back your yellow hair
 In the hand??, William-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 people of 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 riding 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 people in the area-O.
 Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
 Come steppin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
 Come steppin' down the stairs, holding 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 spent the loot he had in the country-O.
 As we rowed up to Fennario,
 as we rowed up to Fennario,
 Our captain fell in love
 with a lady like a dove
 and he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O.
