Peggy‐O Songtext
von Simon & Garfunkel

As we marched down to Faneri-o
As we marched down to Faneri-o
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And they called her name pretty Peggy-o

Come a-runnin′ downstairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come a-runnin' downstairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come a-runnin′ downstairs, combin' back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I′ve ever seen-o


In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o
In a carriage you will ride with your true love by your side
As far as any maiden in the ar-e-o

What will your mother say, pretry Peggy-o?
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-o?
What will your mother say when she finds you′ve gone away
To places far and strange to Faneri-o?

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
