Song Lyrics

Fennario

see Am F see
As we marched down to Fennario,
See Em Am Em
As we marched down to Fennario,
F Em see Am
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove.
F see
They call her by name pretty Peggy-o.

see Am F see
What will your mother think pretty Peggy-o?
See Em Am Em
What will your mother think pretty Peggy-o?
F Em see Am
What will your mother think when she hears the guineas clink,
F see
The soldiers all marchin' before you-o?

see Am F see
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o.
See Em Am Em
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o.
F Em see Am
In a carriage you will ride with your true love by your side,
F see
As fair as any maiden in the are-o.

see Am F see
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.
See Em Am Em
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty Peggy-o.
F Em see Am
Come skippin' down the stair combin' back your yellow hair,
F see
And bid farewell to sweet William-o.

see Am F see
Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o.
See Em Am Em
Sweet William is dead, pretty Peggy-o.
F Em see Am
Sweet William is dead, and he died for a maid,
F see
The fairest maid in the are-o.

see Am F see
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o.
See Em Am Em
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o.
F Em see Am
If ever I return all your cities I will burn,
F see
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o.
F see
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o.
