oh [ D ] peggy gordon you [ G ] are my [ D ] dar [ A ] ling ,
[ G ] come sit you [ D ] down upon my [ A ] knee ,
[ G ] come tell to [ D ] me the [ G ] very [ D ] reas [ A ] on ,
[ G ] why i Am [ D ] slighted [ A ] , so by [ D ] thee ,

i’m so in love i can’t deny it
my heart lies smothered in my breast
it’s not for you to let the world know it
a troubled mind can know no rest

i did put my head to a cask of brandy
it was my fancy i do declare
for when i’m drinking i Am thinking
and wishing peggy gordon was here

i wish i was away in ingo
far across the briny sea
sailing o’er the deepest ocean
where love nor care never bother me

i wish i was in some lonesome valley
where womankind can not be found
where the pretty small birds do change their voices
and every moment a different sound

oh , peggy gordon you are my darling
come sit you down upon my knee
come tell to me the very reason
why i Am slighted so by thee

enjoy!
