Peggy Gordon Songtext
von The Corries

Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit ye doon upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I am in love, I cannot deny it
My heart lies troubled in my breast
It′s not for me to let the world know it
A troubled heart can find no rest

I put my head tae a cask o' brandy
It was my fancy so to do
For when I am drinking, I′m seldom thinking
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here


I wish I was away in England
Far across the briny sea
Sailing over the deepest ocean
Where love and care ne'er bothered me

I wish I was in a lonely valley
Where women kind cannot be found
Where all the small birds, they change their voices
And every moment a different sound

Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit ye doon upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
Why I am slighted so by thee
