Fennario

John Phillips, Richard Weissman

[Verse 1]
As we marched down to Fennario
We marched down to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And they calléd her Pretty Peggy-O

[Verse 2]
Come trippin' down the stairs, Pretty Peggy-O
Trippin' down the stairs Pretty Peggy-O
Come trippin' down the stairs, combin' back your yellow hair
And waitin' for you there is Sweet William-O

[Verse 3]
"Oh, would you marry me, Pretty Peggy-O?
Would you marry me, Pretty Peggy-O?
If you'll marry me then the city will go free
And it's this I promise thee, Pretty Peggy-O?"

[Verse 4]
I would marry you, Sweet William-O
I would marry you, Sweet William-O
I would marry you, but you wear that coat of blue
I'm afraid my ma would be angry-o

[Verse 5]
If ever I return, Pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, Pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, then the city I will burn
And destroy all the ladies in the area-o

[Verse 6]
Sweet William he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O
William he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead, and he died for a maid
And he's layin' in the Louisiana country-o

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
