pretty peggy-o - paul clayton lyrics

Loading...

there’s many a bonnie lass
in the hills of auchterless
there’s many a bonnie ellen
who will wet thee*o
ah, there’s many a bonnie jean
in the streets of aberdeen
but the flower of them all
is in fyvie*o

oh, the colonel cries
“mount boys, mount boys, mount”
but the captain, he cries
“tarry*o! oh, tarry a day
for i cannot ride away
til i see if this pretty maid will marry*o”

oh, i’ll give you ribbons, love
and i’ll give you rings
and i’ll give you a necklace of amber*o
if you’ll ride by my side
and be a soldier’s bride
and follow me home to my family*o

oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy*o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy*o
a soldier’s wife, i never shall be
however if d’you may desire me*o
i never do intend to go to a foreign land
and leave the bonnie banks of the fyvie*o

it’s early next morning
that we marched away
and all but the captain was sorry*o
the drums they did beat
as we marched down the street
and the band played
the bonnie banks o’ fyvie*o

oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy*o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy*o

oh, green grow the trees
on the bonnie banks and leas
and low lie the lowlands o’ fyvie*o
and it’s many a bonnie jean
this soldier, he has seen
but none like pretty peggy o’ fyvie*o
oh, come down the stairs
pretty peggy, my dear
come down the stairs, pretty peggy*o
oh, come down the stairs
comb back your yellow hair
say a long farewell to your mammy*o
