The Grateful Dead — Peggy-O Live at Charlotte Coliseum Charlotte NC December 10 1973

As we rowed out to Fennario As we rowed out to Fennario Our captain fell in love With a lady like a dove And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O Come steppin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come steppin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O Come steppin' down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair Prettiest lady in the area-o Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Will you marry me? Mama won't agree And I know your mama would be angry-O Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? I would marry you but your guineas are too few And I know my mother would be angry-O [Instrumental break] What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O? What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O? What would your mother think if she heard my guineas clink? Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O If ever I return, all your cities I will burn Destroy all the people in the area-O [Instrumental break] As we rowed out to Fennario As we rowed out to Fennario Our captain fell in love With a lady like a dove And he called her by name, pretty Peggy-O
