Lyrics
(CHORUS)
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling
Come sit ye down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
That I am slighted so by thee
I’m deep in love and I can’t deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
It’s not for you to let the world know
That a troubled mind has no rest
I put my back up against an oak tree
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then was broken
And that is how my love served me
(CHORUS)
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling
Come sit ye down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
That I am slighted so by thee
I think I’ll go to some lonesome valley
Where womankind can n’er be found
And the prettiest little birds will change their voices
And every moment a different sound
(CHORUS)
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling
Come sit ye down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
That I am slighted so by thee
That I am slighted so by thee
