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
