The Bonnie Lass of Fyvie The Irish Rovers

[Verse 1]
There once was a troop of Irish dragoons
Came marchin' down through Fyvie'o
And the captain fell in love with a very bonnie lass
Her name it was called pretty Peggy'o

[Verse 2]
There's many's a bonnie lass in the town of Auchterless
There's many's a bonnie lassie in ol' Garioch
There's many's a bonnie Jean in the streets of Aberdeen
But the flower of them all lives down in Fyvie'o

[Verse 3]
Come down the stairs, pretty Peggy, my dear
Come down the stairs, pretty Peggy'o
I come down the stairs, comb back yer yellow hair
Say long farewell to yer mommy'o

[Verse 4]
I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be
I never will marry a soldier'o
I never did intend to go on to a foreign land
I never will marry a soldier'o

[Verse 5]
The colonel he cried, "Mount!"
"Mount, boys, mount!"
The captain he cried, "Tally-ho!"
And tallied for a while for another day or two
'Till I see if this bonnie lass will marry'o
