Peggy-O

[A D A] As we marched out to Fennerio [A F#m C#m] As we marched out to Fennerio [D A] Our Captain fell in love [A A/G# F#m] With a lady like a dove [A D A] And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O

Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? If you would marry me, I would set your cities free Free all the ladies in the are-o

I would marry you, sweet William-O I would marry you, sweet William-O I would marry you, but your Guineas are too few And I fear my mama would be angry-o

What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O What would your mama think, If she heard my Guineas clink? Saw me marching at the head of my soilders-o.

Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come a-steppin down the stairs Combin’ back your yellow hair Bid a last fair well to your William-O

For if ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return All your cities I will burn Destroy all the ladies in the are-o

Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, And he died for a maid And he’s burried in Louisana country-O
