Pretty Pegga - Bob Dylan

I’ve been around this whole country

But I never yet found Fenneario

Well, as we marched down, as we marched down

Well, as we marched down to Fennerio

Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O

Well, what will your mother say, what will your mother say

What will your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O

What will your mother say to know you’re going away

You’re never, never, never coming back-io?

Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs, Pretty Peggy-O

Come a-running down your stairs

Combing back your yellow 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 gone, Pretty Peggy-O

The lieutenant he has gone, long gone

He’s a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo

Well, our captain he is dead, our captain he is dead

Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O

Well, our captain he is dead, died for a maid

He’s buried somewhere in Louisiana-O
