  DOh PGeggy GoDrdon you aGre my DdarliAng,
Come sGit you Ddown upon my kAnee,
Come tGell to Dme the vGery DreasAon,
Why GI am sDlighted,Aso by tDhee,
[VERSE 2]
I wGish I wDas in some Glonesome DvalAley,
where Gwoman kDind cannot be Afound,
Where the prGetty smDall birds,do chGange their DvoicAes,
and eGvery mDoment a diffAerent sDound.

But its Gnot for yDou to lGet the wDorld know Ait,

For whGen im dDrinking I am aGlways tDhinkAing,
and wiGshing PDeggy GoArdon was hDere.

D G 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,

[VERSE 2]

G D G D A

I wish I was in some lonesome valley,

G D A

where woman kind cannot 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.

[VERSE 3]

G D G D A

Im so in love that I cant deny it,

G D A

my heart lies smothered in my breast,

G D G D A

But its not for you to let the world know it,

G D A D

a troubled mind can know no rest.

[VERSE 4]

G 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 im drinking I am always thinking,

G D A D

and wishing Peggy Gordon was here.
