Peggy-O (Live at Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, NC, December 10, 1973)

As we rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O

Come steppin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin' down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
Prettiest lady in the area-o

Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
Will you marry me? Mama won't agree
And I know your mama would be angry-O

Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
I would marry you but your guineas are too few
And I know my mother would be angry-O

[Instrumental break]

What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mother think if she heard my guineas clink?
Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
Destroy all the people in the area-O

[Instrumental break]

As we rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O
