Misc Traditional – Peggy Gordon (Guitar)

D                G            D  A
Oh, Peggy Gordon   you are my darling

G             D            A
 Come sit you down upon my knee

G             D  G          D  A*
 Come tell to me   the very reason

G         D        A     D*
 Why I am slighted so by thee 

D              G           D  A
I'm so in love   I can't deny it

G              D               A
 My heart lies smothered in my breast

G             D   G            D          A
 It's not for you   to let the world know it

G           D        A       D
 A troubled mind can know no rest 

D                 G              D   A
I did put my head   to a cask of brandy

G          D            A
 It was my fancy I do declare

G             D        G      D    A
 For when I'm drinking   I am thinking

G            D            A   D
 And wishing Peggy Gordon was here 

D             G      D A
I wish I was away in Ingo

G               D     A
 Far across the briny sea

G        D    G            D  A
 Sailing o'er  the deepest ocean

G               D          A      D
 Where love nor care never bother me 

D            G                 D  A
I wish I was  in some lonesome valley

G           D               A
 Where womankind can not be found

G                       D    G                 D  A
 Where the pretty small birds  do change their voices

G          D        A         D
 And every moment a different sound 

D                G           D  A
Oh, Peggy Gordon  you are my darling

G             D            A
 Come sit you down upon my knee

G             D  G          D   A
 Come tell to me   the very reason

G         D        A     D
 Why I am slighted so by thee 

G         D        A     D
 Why I am slighted so by thee
