| 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 |
