Pretty Peggy-O Lyrics

I've been around this whole country 

 But I never yet found Fenneario.

 

 Well, as we marched down, as we marched down

 Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'

 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 

 Combing 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, died for a maid

 He's buried somewhere in Louisiana-O.
