Lyrics:

There once was a troop of Irish Dragoons
Came marchin' down through Fyvie-o,
And their captain fell in love with a very bonnie lass,
An' her name it was called pretty Peggy-o.

Chorus:
So "Come ye down the stairs, pretty Peggy, my dear,
Oh come ye down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o,
Oh come ye down the stairs, come back your yellow hair,
With a fine farewell to your daddy-o."

No there's many a bonnie lass in Howe o' Auchterless,
There's many a bonnie lass in the Garioch-o.
And there's many a bonnie Jean in the town o' Aberdeen,
But the floo'er o' them all is in Fyvie-o

"For it's I that gave ye ribbons for your bonny golden hair,
I'll give ye a necklace of amber-o,
I'll give ye silken petticoats with flounces to the knee,
If ye'll convoy me doon tae my chamber-o."

"Oh I hae got ribbons for my bonnie golden hair,
An' I hae got a necklace o' amber-o,
An' I hae got petticoats befitting my degree,
An' I'd scorn tae be seen in your chamber-o."

"What would your mammy think if she heard the guineas clink,
An' the autboyss a playn' before you-o?
What would your mammy think when she heard the guineas clink,
An' kent you had married a soldier-o."

"Oh a soldier's wife I never shall be,
A soldier shall never enjoy me-o.
For I never do intend to go to a foreign land,
So I never shall marry a soldier-o."

"A soldier's wife ye never shall be,
For ye'll be the captain's lady-o.
And the regiments shall stand with their hats intea their hands,
And they'll bow in the presence of my Peggy-o."
