As we rode out to Fennario, as we rode on to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O?
Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O?
If you will marry me, I'll set your cities free
And free all the ladies in the are-O
I would marry you sweet William-O
I would marry you sweet William-O
I would marry you but your guineas are too few
And I fear my mama would be angry-O
What would your mama think pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mama think pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mama think if she heard my guineas clink
Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O
If ever I return pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return your cities I will burn
Destroy all the people in the area-O
Come steppin' down the stairs pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin' down the stairs pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin' down the stairs combin' back your yellow hair
Bid a last farewell to your William-O
Sweet William, he is dead pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William, he is dead pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William, he is dead and he died for a maid
And he's buried in the Louisiana country-O
As we rode out to Fennario, as we rode out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O
