Peggy Gordon

Oh Peggy Gordon

You are my darling

Come sit you down

Here on my knee

And 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 broken

Beneath my breast

But it's not for you

To let the world know it

A troubled mind

Can know no rest

I took myself

To a glass of brandy

It was my fancy

I do declare

But when I'm drinking

I'm seldom thinking

And wishing Peggy Gordon was here

I wish I were

In some lonely valley

Where woman kind

Can not be found

And the pretty birds

All change their voices

Every moment

To a different sound

Oh Peggy Gordon

You are my darling

Come sit you down

Here on my knee

And tell to me

The very reason

Why I am slighted

So by Thee
