O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
C G D
Come sit you down upon my knee
C G C G
And tell to me the very reason
C G Em D G
Why I am slighted so by thee
[VERSE 1]
G C G
I'm so in love that I can't deny it
C G D
My heart lies smothered in my breast
C G C G
It's not for you to let the world know it
C G Em D G
A troubled mind can know no rest
-CHORUS-
[VERSE 2]
G C G
I lay my head on a cask of brandy
C G D
It was my fancy, I do declare
C G C G
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
C G Em D G
And wishing Peggy Gordon were here
-CHORUS-

[VERSE 3]
G C G
I wish I was in some lonesome valley
C G D
Where womankind can nere' be found
C G C G
And the pretty little birds do change their voices
C G Em D G
And every moment a different sound
-CHORUS-
