Peggy Gordon Lyrics

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

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

Oh, 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
Why I am slighted so by thee
