Peggy Gordon Lyrics

Peggy Gordon lyrics

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 

  

 I am so deep in love that 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 

  

 I leaned myself on a cask of whiskey 

 It was my fancy, I do declare 

 For when I´m drinking, I´m always thinking 

 Wishing Peggy Gordon was there 

  

 I wished I was in a lonesome valley 

 Where womankind cannot be found 

 where all the birds do change their voices 

 And every moment a different sound 

  

 I wish I was away in Ingo 

 Far away across the sea 

 Sailing over deepest waters 

 Where love nor care never trouble me
