Oh
Peggy Gordan
You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason why I am slighted so by thee

I'm so in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies
Smotheres in my breast but it's not for you to let the world know it
A troubled mind can know no rest

I put my head to a glass of brandy
I was my fancy I do declare
For when I'm drinking I am always thinking
And wishing Peggy Gordan was here

I wish I was in some lonesome valley where womankind cannot be found
Where little birds sing upon the branches
And every moment has a different sound

Oh
Peggy Gordan
You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason why I am slighted so by thee
