F#     C#/F    B    C#  F# B C#
As we marched down to Faneri-o
   F#          B        F# B C#
As we marched down to Faneri-o
     B               F#          A#m         D#m
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
         F#     C#/F D#m   C#    D#m C#/F F#
And they called her name, pretty Peggy-o

Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come a runnin' down the stairs
Combin' back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I have ever seen-o

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-O
In a carriage you will ride
With your true love by your side
As fair as any maiden in the area-o

What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-O?
What will your mother say
When she finds you've gone away
To places far and strange to Fennario?

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return
All your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
Destroying all the ladies in the area-o
