Peggy Gordon - 2022 Remaster

Oh Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
I'm so deep in love and I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
It's not for you to let the whole world know it
A troubled mind can know no rest
I put my head to a cask of brandy
It was my fancy I do declare
For when I'm drinking I'm always sinking
And wishing Peggy Gordon was there
I wish I was in some lonesome valley
Where women kind cannot be found
And the pretty small birds they all change their voices
And every moment a different sound
I wish I was away in England
Or out across the briny sea
Or sailing on the deepest ocean
Where wanton care can't trouble me
Oh Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
