Lyrics:

There Once Was A Troop Of Irish Dragoons
came Marching Down Through Fyvie-O
the Captain Fell In Love With A Rare Bonny Lass
her Name It Was Called Pretty Peggy-O

and It's Come Down The Stairs Pretty Peggy, My Dear
oh Come Down The Stairs Pretty Peggy-0 Oh
come Down The Stair, Comb Back Your Yellow Hair
bid A Long Farewell To Your Mammy-O

i Never Did Intend A Soldier's Wife For To Be
i Never Will Marry A Soldier-O
i Never Did Intend To Go To A Foreign Land
a Soldier Will Never Enjoy Me, 0

there's Many A Bonny Jean In The Town Of Aberdeen
there's Many A Bonny Lass In The Garioch

there's Many A Bonny Lass In The Howe O Auchterless
but The Flower O' Them All Bides In Fyvie-O

now The Captain He Cried 'mount!
mount, Boys, Mount!'
the Colonel He Cried 'tarry, 0!'
'we'll Tarry For A While, For Another Day Or Twa
to See If This Bonny Lass Will Marry, O!'

but Long Ere We Reached The Howe O' Auchterless
we Had Our Captain To Carry O
and Long Ere We Reached The Streets Of Aberdeen
we Had Our Captain To Bury O

now Green Grow The Buds By The Bonny Ythanside
and Low Lie The Lowlands O Fyvie-O
the Captain's Name Was Ned, He Died For The Maid
he Died For The Chambermaid Of Fife-0
