[Verse 1]
As we march down to Frenario
As we march down to Frenario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And they called her by the name of pretty Peggy-O

[Verse 2]
Come go away with me, pretty Peggy-O
Come go away with me, pretty Peggy-O
In coaches you should ride with your true love by your side
As grand as any lady in the country-o

[Verse 3]
You're the man that I adore, sweet William-O
You're the man that I adore, sweet William-O
You're the man that I adore but your fortune is too low
And I'm afraid that my mother will be angry-o

[Mandolin Solo]

[Verse 4]
Come trippin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come trippin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come trippin' down the stairs combin' back your yellow hair
And say alas farewell to your William-O
[Verse 5]
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return this city I will burn
And destroy all the ladies in the areo

[Verse 6]
Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Oh, our captain he is dead and he died for a maid
And he's buried in the Louisiana country-o

[Verse 1]
And as we march down to Frenario
As we march down to Frenario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And they called her by the name of pretty Peggy-O
