Fennario Lyrics

Fennario



   C          Am         F   C

As we marched down to Fennario,

   C          Em         Am  Em

As we marched down to Fennario,

    F               Em          C           Am

Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove.

     F                             C

They call her by name pretty Peggy-o.



     C                Am           F     C

What will your mother think pretty Peggy-o?

     C                Em           Am    Em

What will your mother think pretty Peggy-o?

     F                Em             C                 Am

What will your mother think when she hears the guineas clink,

    F                                C

The soldiers all marchin' before you-o?



     C                 Am           F     C

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o.

     C                 Em           Am    Em

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o.

     F                 Em             C                 Am

In a carriage you will ride with your true love by your side,

   F                             C

As fair as any maiden in the are-o.



     C                 Am            F     C

Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.

     C                 Em            Am    Em

Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.

     F                 Em            C                Am

Come skippin' down the stair combin' back your yellow hair,

    F                             C

And bid farewell to sweet William-o.



      C          Am           F     C

Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o.

      C          Em           Am    Em

Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o.

      F          Em           C          Am

Sweet William is dead, and he died for a maid,

    F                       C

The fairest maid in the are-o.



   C        Am           F     C

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o.

   C        Em           Am    Em

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o.

   F        Em            C             Am

If ever I return all your cities I will burn,

   F                                 C

Destroying all the ladies in the are-o.

   F                                 C

Destroying all the ladies in the are-o.
