Lyrics

Fennario

C am f c
As we marched down to fennario
C em am em
As we marched down to fennario
F em c am
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
F c
They call her by name pretty peggy-o

C am f c
What will your mother think pretty peggy-o?
C em am em
What will your mother think pretty peggy-o?
F em c am
What will your mother think when she hears the guineas clink
F c
The soldiers all marchin' before you-o?

C am f c
In a carriage you will ride, pretty peggy-o
C em am em
In a carriage you will ride, pretty peggy-o
F em c am
In a carriage you will ride with your true love by your side
F c
As fair as any maiden in the are-o

C am f c
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty peggy-o
C em am em
Come skippin' down the stair, pretty peggy-o
F em c am
Come skippin' down the stair combin' back your yellow hair
F c
And bid farewell to sweet william-o

C am f c
Sweet william is dead, pretty peggy-o
C em am em
Sweet william is dead, pretty peggy-o
F em c am
Sweet william is dead, and he died for a maid
F c
The fairest maid in the are-o

C am f c
If ever I return, pretty peggy-o
C em am em
If ever I return, pretty peggy-o
F em c am
If ever I return all your cities I will burn
F c
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o
F c
Destroying all the ladies in the are-o
