Lyrics

As we rode out to Fanario
As we rode out to Fanario
Our captain fell in love, with a lady like a dove
And he called her by name Peggy-O

Won’t you come with me Pretty Peggy-O
Won’t you come with me Pretty Peggy-O
If you’ll come with me we’ll cross the great blue sea
Won’t you marry me pretty Peggy-O

I cannot marry you a sailor, no
I cannot marry you a sailor, no
I cannot marry you and cross the ocean blue
I cannot marry you a sailor no

What would your mother say Peggy-O?
What would your mother say Peggy-O?
What would your mother say, if I told her you could stay
What would your mother say Peggy-O

And for this gilded dove, Pretty Peggy-O
And for this gilded dove, Pretty Peggy-O
And for this gilded dove, our captain died for love
For this gilded dove, Peggy-O
