Well, thare once wis a troup o Irish dragoons

The captain's fawen in love wi another bonnie quine
Oh, the name that she had wis pretty Peggy-o
[Verse 2]
"Oh, come runnin doun yer stairs, pretty Peggy, my dear
Come runnin doun yer stairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come runnin doun yer stairs, tie back yer yella hair
Tak a last fareweel tae yer daddie-o,"
[Verse 3]
Well, it's braw, aye, it's braw, a captain's lady for tae be
It's braw tae be a captain's lady-o
Braw tae rine and rant, aye tae follow wi the camp
Oh, and march when yer captain he is ready-o
[Verse 4]
Now the colonel, he cried, "Mount, boys, mount, boys, mount,"
Oh, the captain, he cried, "Tarry-o
Tarry for a while, for another day or twa
Juist tae see if this bonnie lass will marry-o."

Oh, but syne ere we come up tae Bethelnie toun
Wir captain we had for tae carry-o
And syne ere we come up tae bonnie Aiberdeen
Oh, wir captain we had for tae bury-o
Well, thare once wis a troup o Irish dragoons
Came marchin doun throu Fyvie-o
The captain's fawen in love wi another bonnie quine
Oh, the name that she had wis pretty Peggy-o

Come runnin doun yer stairs, tie back yer yella hair
