Pretty Peggy O - Various Artists/Bob Dylan

I've been around this whole country

But I never yet found fennario

Well as we marched down

As we marched down

Well as we marched down to fennario

Well our captain fell in love

With a lady like a dove

Her name that she had was pretty peggy-o

Well what will your mother say

What will your mother say

What will your mother say pretty peggy-o

What will your mother say

To know you're going away

You're never never never coming back-io

Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs pretty peggy-o

Come a-running down your stairs

Comb back your hair

You're the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io

The lieutenant he has gone

The lieutenant he has gone

The lieutenant he has gone pretty peggy-o

The lieutenant he has gone

Long gone

Hes a-riding down in texas with the rodeo

Well our captain he is dead

Our captain he is dead

Our captain he is dead pretty peggy-o

Well our captain he is dead

Died for a maid

Hes buried somewheres in louisiana-o
