          G
Well, as we marched down, as we marched down
                                D
Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'
           G                           C
Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
     D                            G
the 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?

        G
Come a-running down your stairs
Come a-running down your stairs
                                              D
Come a-running down your stairs, Pretty Peggy-O
        G
Come a-running down your stairs
         C
Combing back your yellow hair
             D                               G
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.
