Intro: 1 2 3 C G D G 
G                              D    
O Peggy Gordon you are my darl-ing, 
     C       G            D     
Come sit you down upon my knee, 
     C       G                D   
Come tell to me the very reas-on, 
    C    G        D     G     
Why I am slighted so by thee. 
G                                 D   
I'm so in love that I can't de-ny it, 
   C          G               D       
My heart lies smothered in my breast, 
     C       G                              D   
It's not for me to let the whole world know it, 
  C        G        D       G     
A troubled mind can know no rest. 
G                               D   
I put my head to a cask of bran-dy, 
   C      G             D      
It was my fancy I do de-clare, 
    C        G                         D    
For when I'm drinking I'm always think-ing, 
    C       G     D          G     
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here.

G D C G D C G D C G D G 
G                       D   
I wish I was away in In-go, 
C     G                D    
Far a-cross the briney sea, 
C       G                   D    
Sailing o'er the deepest oc-ean, 
      C        G          D        G   
Where love nor care never bothered me. 
G                                  D   
I wish I was in some lonesome vall-ey, 
      C     G               D      
Where woman kind can not be found, 
          C            G                          D   
Where the pretty small birds do change their voic-es, 
    C     G        D         G      
And every moment a different sound.

Come sit you down upon my knee,
