Pretty Peggy-O

Lyrics

I've been around this whole country
 But I never yet found Fennario
 Well, as we marched down
 As we marched down
 Well, as we marched down to Fennario
 Well, our captain fell in love
 With a lady like a dove
 Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O
 ♪
 Well, what will your mother say
 What will your mother say
 What will your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O
 What will your mother say
 To know you're going away?
 You're never, never, never coming back-io
 ♪
 Come a-running down your stairs
 Come a-running down your stairs
 Come a-running down your stairs, Pretty Peggy-O
 Come a-running down your stairs
 Combin' back your yellow hair
 You're the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io
 ♪
 The lieutenant he has gone
 The lieutenant he has gone
 The lieutenant he has gone, Pretty Peggy-O
 The lieutenant he has gone
 Long gone
 He's a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo
 ♪
 Well, our captain he is dead
 Our captain he is dead
 Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O
 Well, our captain he is dead
 He died for a maid
 He's buried somewheres in Louisiana-O
