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,
verse 2
I wish I was in some lonesome valley,
where woman kind cannot be found,
Where the pretty small birds,do change their voices,
and every moment a different sound.
verse 3
Im so in love that I cant deny it,
my heart lies smothered in my breast,
But its not for you to let the world know it,
a troubled mind can know no rest.
verse 4
I did put my head to a cask of brandy,
it was my fancy I do declare,
For when im drinking I am always thinking,
and wishing Peggy Gordon was here.
