Lyrics
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
I'm so in love I can't deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast It's not for you to let the world know it A troubled mind can know no rest
I did put my head to a cask of brandy It was my fancy I do declare For when I'm drinking I am thinking And wishing peggy gordon was here
I wish I was away in ingo Far across the briny sea Sailing o'er the deepest ocean Where love nor care never bother me
I wish I was in some lonesome valley Where womankind can not be found Where the pretty small birds do change their voices And every moment a different sound
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
