PEGGY GORDON
Chorus
O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted
so by thee
verse 1
I am in love I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the world know it
A
troubled mind can find no rest
verse 2
I lost myself in a cask of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
And
wishing Peggy Gordon was here
verse 3
I wish I was in a lonesome valley
Where womankind cannot be found
And all the little birds they change their voices
And
every moment a different sound
verse 4
I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest oceans
Where Peggy Gordon ne'r
troubles me
