Peggy Gordon

A traditional irish song, made famous by the Dubliners. As with any traditional song there is an unlimtited amount of verses, with a million versions of each of these verses. I have included the most common ones, the ones that I were used by the Dubliners. Repeat the chords for the first verse all the way through. D G D A Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling, G D A Come sit you down upon my knee, G D G D A Come tell to me the very reason, G D A D Why I am slighted ,so by thee, I'm so in love I can't deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast It's not for you to let the world know it A troubled mind can know no rest I did put my head to a cask of brandy It was my fancy I do declare For when I'm drinking I am thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here I wish I was away in Ingo Far across the briny sea Sailing o'er the deepest ocean Where love nor care never bother me I wish I was in some lonesome valley Where womankind can not be found Where the pretty small birds do change their voices And every moment a different sound Oh, Peggy Gordon you are my darling Come sit you down upon my knee Come tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee Enjoy!
