Fennario (Joan Baez)
As we marched down to Fennario, As we marched
down to Fennario, Our captain fell in love with
a lady like a dove. They call her by 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 when she hears the guineas
clink, The soldiers all marchin' before you-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 are-o.
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.
Come skippin' down the stair combin' back your
yellow hair, And bid farewell to sweet William-o.
Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o. Sweet
William is dead, pretty Peggy-o. Sweet William
is dead, and he died for a maid, The fairest
maid in the are-o.
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 are-o. Destroying all the ladies
in the are-o.
