Peggy Gordon

Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling

Come sit you down upon my knee

Come tell to me the very reason

Why I am slighted so by thee

I'm so in love, I can't deny it

My heart lies smothered in my breast

It's not for you to let the world know it

A troubled mind can know no rest

I did put my head to a cask of brandy

It was my fancy I do declare

For when I'm drinking I am thinking

And wishing Peggy Gordon was here

I wish I was away in Ingo

Far across the briny sea

Sailing o'er the deepest ocean

Where love nor care ever bother me

I wish I was in some lonesome valley

Where womankind cannot be found

Where the pretty small birds

Do change their voices

And ev'ry moment a diff'rent sound

Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling

Come sit you down upon my knee

Come tell to me the very reason

Why I am slighted so by thee
