(First release???Traditionalarranged by Bob Dylan)
I ve been around this whole country
But I never yet found Fennario.
Wellas we marched down
As we marched down
Wellas we marched down to Fennario
Wellour captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove
Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O
Wellwhat will your mother say
What will your mother say
What will your mother sayPretty Peggy-O
What will your mother say
To know you re going away
You re nevernevernever coming back-io ?
Come a-running down your stairs
Come a-running down your stairs
Come a-running down your stairsPretty Peggy-O
Come a-running down your stairs
Comb back your hair
You re the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io.
The lieutenant he has gone
The lieutenant he has gone
The lieutenant he has gonePretty Peggy-O
The lieutenant he has gone
Long gone
He s a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo.
Wellour captain he is dead
Our captain he is dead
Our captain he is deadPretty Peggy-O
Wellour captain he is dead
Died for a maid
He s buried somewheres in Louisiana-O.
