As [D]we came [G]down to Fenneri[D]o
As [D]we marched down to Fen[A]nerio
Well our [G]captain fell in [D]love
With the [D]lady like a [G]dove
And they [D]called her [G]name
Pretty Peggy-[D]o

Come a runnin' down the stair Pretty Peggy-o
Come a runnin' down the stair Pretty Peggy-o
Come a runnin' down the stair
Tie 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 fair as any maiden
In the area-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 estrange
To Fennerio
 
 

What will your mother think Pretty Peggy-o
What will your mother think Pretty Peggy-o
What will your mother think
When she hears the guineas clink
And soldiers all about you
For you-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 area-o

As we came down to Fennerio
As we marched down to Fennerio
Well our captain fell in love
With the lady like a dove
And they called her name
Pretty Peggy-o
