Grateful Dead - Peggy-O (Live at Recreation Hall, Penn State University, University Park, PA, May 6, 1980)
As we rowed up to Fennario
As we rowed up to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name Pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me
Pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me
Pretty Peggy-O
If you will marry me
I will set your cities free
And free all the people of the area-O
I would marry you
Sweet William-O
I would marry you
Sweet William-O
I would marry you
But your guineas are too few
And I fear my mama
Would be angry-O
What would your mama think
Pretty Peggy-O
What would your mama think
Pretty Peggy-O
What would your mama think
If she heard my guineas clink
Saw me riding 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 lives
In the area-O
Come stepping down the stairs
Pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs
Pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs
Holding back your yellow hair
Bid a last farewell
To your William-O
Sweet William he is dead
Pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead
Pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead
And he died for a maid
And he spent the loot
He had in the country-O
As we rowed up to Fennario
As we rowed up to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name
Pretty Peggy-O
