verse 1 Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling, Come sit you down upon my knee, Come tell to me the very reason, Why I am slighted,so by thee, verse 2 I wish I was in some lonesome valley, where woman kind cannot be found, Where the pretty small birds,do change their voices, and every moment a different sound. verse 3 Im so in love that I cant deny it, my heart lies smothered in my breast, But its not for you to let the world know it, a troubled mind can know no rest. verse 4 I did put my head to a cask of brandy, it was my fancy I do declare, For when im drinking I am always thinking, and wishing Peggy Gordon was here.
