Peggy Gordon - The Dubliners TAB’D BY WOMPTON from a live version I heard on youtube (in G) (other versions are in a different key) [VERSE 1] O Peggy Gor-don 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 [VERSE 2] I’m so in lo-ve that I can’t deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast It’s not for you… to let the whole world know it A troubled mind can know no rest [VERSE 3] I put my he-ad to a cask of brandy It was my fancy I do declare For when I’m drinking I am thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here [VERSE 4] I wish I was….. away in Ingo Far across the briny sea Sailing o’er….. the deepest ocean Where love nor care never bother me [VERSE 5] I wished I was….. in some lonesome valley Where womankind cannot be found Where the pretty small birds….. do change their voices And every moment a different sound [VERSE 6] O Peggy Gor-don 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
