(chorus)
As we march down to fannerio
As we march down to fannerio
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And we called her by her name pretty peggy-o

What will your mother think pretty peggy-o?
What will your mother think pretty peggy-o?
What will your mother think but i hear the guineas clink?
And the soldiers marchin' behind you o.

You shall ride in a coach pretty peggy-o
You shall ride in a coach pretty peggy-o
You shall ride in a coach with your true love by your side
As fine as any lady in the country o

And when i return pretty peggy-o
When i return pretty peggy-o
When i return, the city i will burn
And destroy all the ladies in the country o

Come trippin' down the stairs pretty peggy-o
Come trippin' down the stairs pretty peggy-o
Come trippin' down the stairs combin' back your yellow hair
Bid your last farewell to sweet william-o

Sweet william he is dead pretty peggy-o
Sweet william is dead pretty peggy-o
Sweet william is dead and he died for a maid
He's buried in the louisiana country o

(chorus)
