As we marched down to Faneri-o
As we marched down to Faneri-o
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And they called her name, pretty Peggy-O
Come a running down the stairs
Pretty Peggy-O
Come a running down the stairs
Pretty Peggy-O
Come a running down the stairs
Combing back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl
I've ever seen-o
In a carriage you will ride
Pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride
Pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride
With your true love by your side
As far as any maiden in the are-o
What will your mother say
Pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say
Pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say
When she finds you've gone away
To places far and strange to Faneri-o?
If ever I return
Pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return
Pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return
All your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o
