pretty peggy-o

Singer:bob dylan

i've been around this whole country

but i never yet found fenneario

well

as we marched down

as we marched down

well

as we marched down to fennerio'

well

our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

her name that she had was pretty peggy-o

well

what will your mother say

what will your mother say

what will your mother say

pretty peggy-o

what will your mother say to know you're going away

you're never

never

never coming back-io?

come a-running down your stairs

come a-running down your stairs

come a-running down your stairs

pretty peggy-o

come a-running down your stairs

combing back your yellow hair

you're the prettiest darned girl i ever seen-io

the lieutenant he has gone

the lieutenant he has gone

the lieutenant he has gone

pretty peggy-o

the lieutenant he has gone

long gone

he's a-riding down in texas with the rodeo

well

our captain he is dead

our captain he is dead

our captain he is dead

pretty peggy-o

well

our captain he is dead

died for a maid

he's buried somewhere in louisiana-o
