The Grateful Dead — Peggy-O Live at Philadelphia Civic Center Philadelphia PA August 4-5 1974

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Will you marry me, pretty Peggy-O? Will you marry me? I will set your cities free And free all the people in the area-O [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] I would marry you, sweet William-O I would marry you, sweet William-O Well, I would marry you but your guineas are too few And I fear my mama would be angry-O [Verse 5] What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O What would your mama think if she heard my guineas clink Saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O [Instrumental break] [Verse 6] 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 [Outro] 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
