  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
  As we marched down to Fennario
     C5  G5            C5  G5  C5   G5
  As we marched down to Fennario
      A5      G5       C5           G5           F5      C5
  Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
          C5            A5     E5         F5     C5
  And the name she was called was pretty Peggy-O


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Won't you come and go with me, pretty Peggy-O?
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Won't you come and go with me, pretty Peggy-O?
     A5      G5       C5           G5           F5      C5
 In coaches you shall ride with your true love by your side
    C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 Just as grand as any lady in the are-o


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O?
     A5      G5       C5           G5           F5      C5
 What would your mother think for to hear the guineas clink
     C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 And the soldiers all marching before you?


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 You're the man that I adore, sweet William-O
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 You're the man that I adore, sweet William-O
     A5      G5       C5           G5           F5      C5
 You're the man that I adore, but your fortune is too low
     C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 I'm afraid that my mother would be angry-o


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Come tripping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O 
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Come tripping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
     A5      G5       C5           G5           F5      C5
 Come tripping down the stairs and tie up your yellow hair
     C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 Bid a last farewell to sweet William-O


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
     A5      G5       C5    G5       F5      C5
 If ever I return then the city I shall burn
     C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 And destroy all the ladies in the are-o


  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
  C5             A5   E5    F5   C5
 Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
 A5      G5       C5        G5           F5      C5
 Our captain he is dead, and he died for a maid
     C5      A5     E5         F5     C5
 And he's buried in Louisiana county-o.
