Oh Peggy Gordon, you are my darling.
[C] Come sit [G] you down upon [D] my knee.
Come tell [G] to me the very reason
why I am [D] slighted so by thee.
I'm so in love I can't deny it.
My heart lies smothered in [D] my breast.
It's not [G] for you to let the world know it.
A troubled mind [D] can [G] know no rest.
I did put my head to a cask of brandy.
It was my fancy I [D] do declare.
[G] For when I'm drinking I am thinking.
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here.
I wish I'd walked the way in England.
Far across the briny [D]
sea.
[G] Sailing o 'er the deepest ocean.
Where love nor care never bother me.
I wish I was in some lonesome valley.
Where womankind cannot be [D]
found.
Where the pretty [G] small birds do change their voice.
And every moment [D] a different [G] sound.
Oh Peggy Gordon, you are my darling.
Come sit you down upon [D] my knee.
Come tell to [G] me the very reason
why I am [D] slighted so by [G] thee.
