O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling Come sit you down you're on my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee I'm so in love I can't deny it My heart lies broken beneath my breast But it's not for you to let the world know it A troubled mind can know no rest I took myself to a glass of brandy It was my fantasy, I do declare For when I'm drinking, I'm sad and thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here I wish I was in some lonely valley Where womankind cannot be found And the pretty birds all change their voice Every moment to a different sound O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling Come sit you down you're on my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee
