Lyrics

Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling Come sit ye down upon my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee I am in love and I can't deny it My heart lies troubled in my breast It's not for me to let the whole world know it A troubled mind can know no rest I put my hand to a cask of brandy It was my fancy so to do For when I am drinking I am seldom thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here I wish I was away in Ingo Far across the briny sea Sailing over the deepest ocean Where love and care never bother me I wish I was in a lonely valley Where women kind cannot be found Where all the small birds they change their voices And every moment a different sound Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling Come sit ye down upon my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee
