O Peggy Gordon, 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 am so deep in love that I can't deny it 
My heart lies smothered in my breast 
But it's not for you to let the whole world know it 
A troubled mind can find no rest 

I leaned myself on a cask of brandy 
It was my fancy, I do declare 
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking 
Wishing Peggy Gordon was here 

I wished I was in a lonesome valley 
Where womankind cannot be found 
And the pretty little birds do change their voices 
And every moment a different sound 

I wish I was away in Ingo 
Far away across the briny sea 
Sailing over deepest waters 
Where love nor care never trouble me
