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 deep in love, sure I can't deny it

My heart lies smothered in my breast

But it's not for you to let the whole world know it

For a troubled mind can't find no rest

I put my head to a cask of brandy

It was my fancy, I do declare

For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking

And wishing Peggy Gordon was here

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 wish I was away in Ingo

Or far across the briny sea

Or sailing over the deepest ocean

Where Peggy Gordon never bothers me

I wish I was in a lonesome valley

Where womankind cannot be found

And where the birds, they change their voices

And every moment a different 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

Why I am slighted so by thee
