Lyrics

As we rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by 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 area-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, your citiеs I will burn
Destroy all the peoplе in the area-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 mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mother 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 ladies 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, combing back your yellow hair
Big a last fair well 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 rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O
