Paddy Schmidt - PEGGY GORDON lyrics

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling Come sit you down upon my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee I am so deep in love that I can´t deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast But it´s not for you to let the world know it A troubled mind can find no rest I leaned myself on a cask of whiskey It was my fancy, I do declare For when I´m drinking, I´m always thinking Wishing Peggy Gordon was there I wished I was in a lonesome valley Where womankind cannot be found Where all the birds do change their voices And every moment a different sound I wish I was away in Ingo Far away across the sea Sailing over deepest waters Where love nor care never trouble me
