Lyrics and Chords


[As recorded by Simon and Garfunkel, capo 4]

As we marched down to Fernario (2x)
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
And they called her name pretty Peggy-o

/ D G D A - / / G D F#m Bm - / G A G D - /

Come a-runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o (2x)
Come a-runnin' down the stairs, combin' back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I've ever seen-o

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o (2x)
In a carriage you will ride, with your true love by your side
As fair as any maiden in the ar-e-o

What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-o (2x)
What will your mother say, when she finds you've gone away
To places far and strange to Fernario

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o (2x)
If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o (2x)
