Peggy-O

As we marched out to Fennerio
    C               G
Our Captain fell in love
       G    G/F#   Em
With a lady like a dove
       G             C                  G
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O

Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
   C               G
If you would marry me,
     G       G/F#        Em
I would set your cities free
      G             C          G
Free all the ladies in the are-o

I would marry you, sweet William-O

I would marry you, sweet William-O
 C             G
I would marry you
      G    G/F#         Em
but your Guineas are too few
    G           C                 G
And I fear my mama would be angry-o


[Verse 4]

   G                   C                 G
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O

What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O
       C             G
What would your mama think
      G    G/F#         Em
If she heard my Guineas clink?
    G                  C                   G
Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-o.


[Verse 5]

   G              C                         G

   C                   G
Come a-steppin down the stairs
      G    G/F#         Em
Combin' back your yellow hair
    G            C                   G
Bid a last fair well to your William-O


[Verse 6]

   G              C                G
For if ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
G  G/F#     Em             Bm
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
   C            G
If ever I return
      G    G/F#         Em
All your cities I will burn
    G              C             G
Destroy all the ladies in the are-o

Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
   C               G
Sweet William he is dead,
    G   G/F#         Em
And he died for a maid
    G                C             G
And he's burried in Louisana country-O
