Oh 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'm so in love I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
It's not for you to let the whole world know it
A troubled mind can't find no rest
So I put my head to 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 there
Oh 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 wish I was in a lonesome valley
Where mankind cannot be found
And all the birds they change their voices
And every moment a different sound
And I wish I was far away in Ingo
Or out across the briney sea
Or sailing over the deepest ocean
Where Peggy Gordon wouldn't trouble me
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
Come tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
Why I am slighted so by thee
