As we rode out to Fennario

Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And he called her by name pretty Peggy-O

What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O

And saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, all your citie
