The Grateful Dead – Peggy-O Lyrics

Artist: The Grateful Dead
Song: Peggy-O

As we rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love
With a lady like a dove

And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
If you will marry me, I will set your cities free

And free all the people in the area-O
I would marry you, sweet William-O
I would marry you, sweet William-O
I would marry you but your guineas are too few

And I fear my mama would be angry-O
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O?
What would your mama think if she heard my guineas clink?

Saw mе marching at the head of my soldiers-O
If еver I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, your cities I will burn

Destroy all the people in the area-O
Come steppin’ down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin’ down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come steppin’ down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair

Bid a last farewell to your William-O
Sweet William, he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William, he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William, he is dead, and he died for a maid

And he’s buried in the Louisiana country-O
As we rowed out to Fennario
As we rowed out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love

With a lady like a dove
And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O
For those of you up front that can see, Mickey’s got his headset on, and he’s talking to the people that are hovering up there, you know, the people on the ship, the people in the sky. Mickey has extended conversations with them
