The National

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics, which have been described as "dark, melancholy and difficult to interpret", are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: twins Aaron (guitar and keyboard) and Bryce Dessner (guitar) and Scott (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). The National has been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The name of the band was chosen because it "didn't mean anything" and was "benign and meaningless". more »

As we rode on out to Fennario
As we rode on out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with
A lady like a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O

Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O

If you will marry me
I'll set your cities free
And free all the ladies in the area-O
I would marry you sweet William-O
I would marry you sweet William-O
I would marry you but your
Guineas are too few
And I fear my mama would be angry-O
What would your mama think pretty Peggy-O
What would your mama think pretty Peggy-O
What would your mama think if
She heard my guineas clink
Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers

If ever I return pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return your cities I will burn
Destroy all the ladies in the area-O

Come stepping down the stairs pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs combing
Back your yellow hair
Bid a last farewell to your William-O

Sweet William he is dead pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead and
He died for a maid
And he's buried in the Louisiana country-O

As we rode on out to Fennario
As we rode on out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with
A lady like a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O
