Holly Hanson: Peggy Gordon (Traditional)

http://www.NeptunesCar.com Performed by Holly Hanson.

Peggy Gordon

O Peggy Gordon, 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

I'm so in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the world know it
A troubled mind can know no rest

I put my head to a glass of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here

I wish I was in some lonesome valley
Where womankind could not be found
Where the little birds sing on the branches
And every moment a different sound

O Peggy Gordon, 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

Thanks for listening everyone. I was in a Traditional Irish band last year and learned this song. It has since become one of my favorites. The YouTube page for that band is under the name "Muirshin Durkins."

I just finished recording a new CD of all originals. Come listen to a couple of songs on MySpace. My folk duo's name is Neptune's Car.
