I ’ve been around this whoIe country
But I never yet found Fenneario.
WeII, as we marched down, as we marched down
WeII, as we marched down to FennerioWeII, our captain feII in Iove with a Iady Iike a dove
Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O
WeII, what wiII your mother say, what wiII your mother say
What wiII your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O
What wiII 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 yeIIow hair
You ’re the prettiest darned girI I ever seen-io.
The Iieutenant he has gone
The Iieutenant he has gone
The Iieutenant he has gone, Pretty Peggy-O
The Iieutenant he has gone, Iong gone
He ’s a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo.
WeII, our captain he is dead, our captain he is dead
Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O
WeII, our captain he is dead, died for a maid
He ’s buried somewhere in Louisiana-O.
