Oh Peggy Gordon You are my darling Come sit you down Here on 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 broken Beneath my breast But it's not for you To let the world know it A troubled mind Can know no rest I took myself To a glass of brandy It was my fancy I do declare But when I'm drinking I'm seldom thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here I wish I were In some lonely valley Where woman kind Can not be found And the pretty birds All change their voices Every moment To a different sound Oh Peggy Gordon You are my darling Come sit you down Here on my knee And tell to me The very reason Why I am slighted So by Thee
