Peggy-O
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As we rowed out
To Fenarrio,
As we rowed out
To Fenarrio,
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name,
Peggy-o
Won't you come with me
Pretty Peggy-o?
Won't you come with me
Pretty Peggy-o?
If you come with me
We'll cross the great, blue sea
Won't you marry me
Pretty Peggy-o?
I cannot marry you,
A sailor, no
I cannot marry you,
A sailor, no
I cannot marry you
And cross the ocean blue
I cannot marry you,
A sailor, no
What would your mother say,
Peggy-o?
What would your mother say,
Pretty Peggy-o?
What would your mother say,
If I told her you could stay?
What would your mother say,
Peggy-o?
For this gilded dove,
Peggy-o,
And for this gilded dove,
Pretty Peggy-o,
And for this gilded dove,
Our captain died for love
