Peggy Gordon lyrics

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'm always thinking

And wishing Peggy Gordon was here

I wish I was in some lonesome valley

Where womankind can not be found

Where the little birds sing on their branches

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
