The Journeymen - Fenario lyrics

As we marched down to Fenario As we marched down to Fenario Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove And they called her pretty Peggy-O Come tripping down the stair, pretty Peggy-O Come tripping down the stair, pretty Peggy-O Come tripping down the stair, Combing back your yellow hair And waiting for you there is sweet William-O Oh, would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O If you'll marry me then the city will go free And it's this I promise thee, pretty Peggy-O I would marry you, Sweet William-O I would marry you, Sweet William-O I would marry you, but you wear that coat of blue I'm afraid my ma would be angry-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, then the city I will burn And destroy all the ladies in the area-O Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O Sweet William he is dead, and he died for a maid And he's buried in the Louisiana country-O
