GThere once was a troop o' Irish dragoons, Cam marching doon through DFyvie-o. And the Gcaptain's fa'en in love wi' a Cvery bonnie lass, And her Gname it is Dcried, "pretty GPeggCy-Go".
[Verse 2]
GThere's many a bonnie lass in the howe o' Auchterless. There's many a bonnie lass in the DGarioch. There's Gmany a bonnie Jean in the Cstreets o' Aiberdeen, But the Gfloower o' them Daw lies in GFyviCe-Go.
[Verse 3]
GO' come doon the stair, pretty Peggy, my dear, Come doon the stair, pretty DPeggy-o. GCome doon the stair, bind Cup your yellow hair, Tak a Glast fareDweell o' your GdaddCy-Go.
[Verse 4]
GThen up cries the colonel, "mount, boys, mount!", "Tarry!" says the captain, "O-Dtarry-o!". O-Gtarry for a while, for Canother day or twa, Til I Gsee if this Dbonnie lass will GmarrCy-Go.
[Verse 5]
GTwas in the early morning, when we marched awa, O' but the captain was Dsorry-o. The Gdrums they did beat o'er the Cbonnie braes o' Gight, The Gpipes played the Dlowlands of GFyviCe-Go.
[Verse 6]
GAlang 'ere we come tae auld Meldrum toon, We had our captain to Dcarry-o. AGlang 'ere we come, to Cbonnie Aiberdeen, We Ghad our Dcaptain to GburCy-Go.
[Verse 7]
GGreen grow the birks on bonnie Ythanside, Low lie the lowlands of DFyvie-o. The Gcaptain's name was Ned and he Cdied for a maid, He Gdied for the Dchambermaid of GFyviCe-Go.
[Verse 8]
GI never did intend a soldier's lady for to be, I never will marry a Dsoldier-o. I Gnever did intend to gae Ctae a foreign land, And I Gnever will Dmarry a GsoldiCer-Go.
[Verse 9]
GIt's braw, aye it's braw, a captain's lady for to be, Braw to be a captain's Dlady-o. BrGaw to rant and roam, to Cfollow at his word, And Gride when your Dcaptain he is GreadCy-Go.
