Pretty Peggy-O

Lyrics

[Intro] I've been around this whole country But I never yet found Fennario [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 ? [Verse 3] 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 Combing back your yellow hair You're the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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, died for a maid He's buried somewheres in Louisiana-O
