Pretty Peggy-O

As we marched down
As we marched down
As we marched down to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
Called her by her name, Pretty Peggy-o

Would you marry me
Would you marry me
Would you marry me, Pretty Peggy-o?
If you'd marry me, I would set your city free
Free all the people in the aree-o

What would your mother say
What would your mother say
What would your mother say, Pretty Peggy-o
What would your mother say
If she heard you turned me away
And I razed your city to the ground-io

I would marry you
I would marry you
I would marry you, Sweet William-o
I would marry you, then I'd spike your brew
And save all the people in the aree-o

Come-a running down the stairs
A running down the stairs
A running down the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o
Come-a running down the stairs
Combing back your yellow hairs
You're the prettiest damn girl in the world-io

Our captain he is dead
Our captain he is dead
Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-o
Our captain he is dead - Long dead
And the people they cheered for Pretty Peggy-o
