Peggy Gordon

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I am so deep in love that I can't deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast But it's not for you to let the whole world know it A troubled mind can find no rest [Verse 3] I put my head to a glass of brandy It was my fancy, I do declare For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here [Verse 4] I wish I was in some lonesome valley Where womankind cannot be found Where the little little birds sing on the branches And every moment a different sound [Verse 5] 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
