As we marched down to Fennario As we marched down to Fennario Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove They called her by name pretty Peggy-o 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 The soldiers all marchin' before you-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 are-o Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o Come skippin' down the stair combin' back your yellow hair And bid farewell to sweet William-o Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o Sweet William is dead and he died for a maid The fairest maid in the are-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 are-o Destroying all the ladies in the are-o
