Lyrics Peggy Gordon - Tommy Makem , The Clancy Brothers

O' Peggy Gordon you are my darling,
Come sit you down upon my knee.
And tell to me the very reason,
Why I am sleighted so by thee.
I'm so deep in love,
That I can 't deny it,
My heart lies smothered in my breast
It's not for you to let the world know it,
A troubled mind, can know no rest.
I laid my head on a cask of brandy,
It was my fancy I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking,
Wishing Peggy Gordon was here.
I wish I was in some lonesome valley,
Where womankind can there be found,
The pretty little bards do change their voices,
And every moment a different sound.
O' Peggy Gordon you are my darling,
Come sit ye down upon my knee,
And tell to me the very reason,
That I am sleighted so by thee.
